A track system of a vehicle can be monitored (e.g., during operation of the vehicle) to obtain information about the track system which can be used for various purposes, such as, for example, to convey the information about the track system to a user (e.g., an operator of the vehicle) and/or to control the vehicle, for instance, by controlling a speed of the vehicle depending on a state (e.g., a temperature and/or one or more other physical characteristics) of the track system. This may be useful, for example, to gain knowledge about a track of the track system, to help prevent rapid wear or other deterioration of the track of the track system (e.g., blowout), and/or to adapt how fast or slow the vehicle moves in order to protect the track of the track system while permitting the speed of the vehicle to be greater over short periods (e.g., when travelling on or crossing roads or other particular areas).
A track system for traction of a vehicle on a ground, the track system comprising:
A monitoring system for monitoring a track system for traction of a vehicle on a ground, the track system comprising:
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program executable by a processing apparatus for use in respect of a vehicle comprising a track system for traction of the vehicle on a ground, the track system comprising:
A track for traction of a vehicle on a ground, the track being elastomeric and movable around a plurality of wheels, the track comprising:
A wheel for a track system for traction of a vehicle on a ground, the track system comprising a track that is elastomeric, comprises a ground-engaging outer surface and an inner surface opposite to the ground-engaging outer surface, and is movable around the wheel and other wheels, the wheel comprising a sensor configured to issue a signal processable to assess alignment of the track.
