Abstract
An example operation includes one or more of determining, by sensors on a transport, a slope of a road and a surface condition of the road and engaging one or more wheels of the transport, based on the slope, the surface condition, and a characteristic of the one or more wheels. Engaging includes braking to the one or more wheels at a different rate as the transport is moving on the road.

A system, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory, coupled to the processor, comprising instructions that when executed by the processor are configured to:
- determine, by sensors on a transport, a slope of a road and a surface condition of the road;
- and
- engage one or more tires of the transport, based on the slope, the surface condition, and a characteristic of the one or more wheels;
- wherein the transport engages the one or more wheels comprises application of brakes to the one or more wheels at a different rate as the transport moves on the road.
