Knowing the difficulties of selecting a mathematical model from those proposed in literature, the work presented allows a judicious choice of the model to be used, taking into account the precise working conditions. The work employs the MERISE method (it is a method of analysis, design and management of IT projects) to realize this work. For these purposes, a computer program was designed to quickly determine the tractive effort from a system of information on predefined equipment and working conditions. This program is called DERT (Fr: Détermination de l‘Effort de Résistance à la Traction; En: Determination of Traction Resistance Effort) and grants the possibility to convert the traction effort into energy using the most appropriate mathematical model. This computer tool enables the establishment of a database on the tractive effort and energy requirements of mechanized agricultural work.
