Abstract
A drive system includes a control unit and a traction device. The control unit is configured to receive a load variation signal indicating a vehicle load is to be or being changed and generate a traction torque in response to the load variation signal. The traction device is coupled to the control unit and configured to drive a vehicle according to the traction torque.
Claims20
A drive system, comprising:
- a control unit configured to receive a load variation signal indicating a vehicle load is to be or being changed and generate a fraction torque in response to the load variation signal;
- and
- a traction device coupled to the control unit and configured to drive a vehicle according to the traction torque.
A method, comprising:
- receiving a load variation signal indicating a vehicle load is to be or being changed;
- generating a traction torque in response to the load variation signal;
- and
- applying the traction torque to a traction device to drive a vehicle according to the fraction torque.
1 more element
A drive system, comprising:
- a traction device configured to provide different traction torques to drive a vehicle;
- and
- a control unit configured to receive a load variation signal indicating that the vehicle is to be or being switched from a first load condition to a second load condition, the control unit further configured to change a first traction torque generated corresponding to the first load condition to a second traction torque generated corresponding to the second load condition.
