Abstract
A slip control system for an off-road vehicle includes a control system configured to output a signal indicative of a first action if a magnitude of slippage of the off-road vehicle relative to a soil surface is greater than a first threshold value and less than or equal to a second threshold value. Furthermore, the control system is configured to output a signal indicative of a second action, different than the first action, if the magnitude of slippage is greater than the second threshold value.
Claims8
A slip control system for an off-road vehicle, comprising:
- a control system configured to receive a first signal indicative of a magnitude of slippage of the off-road vehicle relative to a soil surface, a second signal indicative of a rate of change of slippage of the off-road vehicle relative to the soil surface, wherein the control system is configured to output a third signal indicative of a first action if the magnitude of slippage is greater than a first threshold value and less than or equal to a second threshold value, the rate of change of slippage is greater than a third threshold value and less than or equal to a fourth threshold value, or a combination thereof, and not if the magnitude of slippage is greater than the second threshold value, the rate of change of slippage is greater than the fourth threshold value, or a combination thereof, and the control system is configured to output a fourth signal indicative of a second action, different than the first action, if the magnitude of slippage is greater than the second threshold value, the rate of change of slippage is greater than the fourth threshold value, or a combination thereof;
- wherein the second threshold value is greater than the first threshold value, and the fourth threshold value is greater than the third threshold value.
