Directional biased drive control system and method

A method for operating a work vehicle, the method comprising:

• receiving an input, through an input device, related to a commanded vehicle trajectory;
• determining, with a computing system, a correlation of a front axle reference point to a rear axle reference point to accommodate the commanded vehicle trajectory;
• determining, with the computing system, a differential shaft ratio of a front differential input shaft relative to a rear differential input shaft based at least partially on the correlation;
• and
• generating, with the computing system, instructions to maintain the front differential input shaft and a rear differential input shaft at the differential shaft ratio;
• and
• controlling, through a steering control unit, a rotational speed of a first front differential input shaft through an actuation of a first gear train by a first front motor and a rotational speed of a second front differential input shaft through an actuation of a second gear train by a second front motor.

A drive system for a work vehicle, the drive system comprising:

• a first front wheel and a second front wheel operably coupled with a front axle assembly;
• a first rear wheel and a second rear wheel operably coupled with a rear axle;
• at least one wheel sensor associated with at least one of the first front wheel, the second front wheel, the first rear wheel, or the second rear wheel;
• a differential system configured to transfer power from a transfer case to the front axle assembly and the rear axle assembly, the differential system comprising:
• a front differential input shaft operably coupled to the transfer case and a front axle assembly;
• and
• a rear differential input shaft operably coupled to the transfer case and the rear axle assembly;
• and
• a computing system operably coupled with the at least one wheel sensor, the computing system being configured to:
• receive an input related to a commanded vehicle trajectory;
• determine a correlation of a front axle reference point to a rear axle center point to accommodate the commanded vehicle trajectory at a defined speed;
• determine a differential shaft ratio of the front differential input shaft relative to the rear differential input shaft based at least partially on the correlation;
• and
• control a rotational speed of the front differential input shaft through an actuation of a first gear train and a rotational speed of the rear differential input shaft through an actuation of a second gear train at respective speeds to maintain the differential shaft ratio.
