A method of controlling a heavy-duty vehicle, comprising an electric machine configured to apply a propulsion torque on at least one wheel of the vehicle upon applying a pressure on an accelerator pedal of the vehicle, and to apply a brake torque on the at least one wheel upon releasing the pressure from the accelerator pedal, the method comprising determining a lateral force on the at least one wheel of the vehicle; determining a maximum allowable lateral force of the at least one wheel for obtaining a desired longitudinal brake force by the electric machine when releasing the pressure from the accelerator pedal; and transmitting a signal indicative of a foundation braking interaction to an operator of the vehicle when the lateral force is higher than the maximum allowable lateral force.
A method of controlling a heavy-duty vehicle, the vehicle comprising an electric machine configured to apply a propulsion torque on at least one wheel of the vehicle upon applying a pressure on an accelerator pedal of the vehicle, and to apply a brake torque on the at least one wheel upon releasing the pressure from the accelerator pedal, and at least one foundation brake controlled by a brake system of the vehicle, the method comprising:
A vehicle motion management system for a heavy-duty vehicle, the vehicle motion management system being connectable to an actuator control system configured to control an electric machine to apply a propulsion torque on at least one wheel of the vehicle upon applying a pressure on an accelerator pedal of the vehicle, and to apply a brake torque on the at least one wheel upon releasing the pressure from the accelerator pedal, the vehicle motion management system being further configured to control a brake system arranged to control at least one foundation brake of the vehicle, the vehicle motion management system comprising control circuitry configured to:
