Abstract
A traction control system and a method of controlling at least one traction motor of a trailer coupled to a work vehicle are provided. The method includes determining a work vehicle traction force, determining an output force command for at least one traction motor based at least partially on the work vehicle traction force, and controlling at least one traction motor according to the output force command.
Claims20
A method of controlling at least one traction motor of a trailer coupled to a work vehicle, the method comprising:
- determining a work vehicle traction force;
- determining an output force command for the at least one traction motor based at least partially on the work vehicle traction force;
- and
- controlling the at least one traction motor according to the output force command.
A traction control system comprising:
- a work vehicle configured to produce a work vehicle traction force;
- a trailer coupled to the work vehicle and configured to provide ground-engaging traction with at least one traction motor;
- and
- a controller configured to determine an output force command for the at least one traction motor based at least partially on a difference between the work vehicle traction force and a threshold work vehicle traction force and control the at least one traction motor according to the output force command.
