Estimating the term…
A vehicle with a track system including a track for traction of the vehicle on a ground can be monitored (e.g., during operation of the vehicle) to obtain information regarding the vehicle, including information regarding the track system, such as a temperature and/or another characteristic of a wheel of the track system sensed by a sensor of that wheel and/or a temperature and/or another characteristic of the track sensed by a sensor of the track, which can be used to inform a user (e.g., an operator of the vehicle), assessing wear, vibration, and/or other aspects of the track system, evaluating use (e.g., a duty cycle), performance, and/or other aspects of the vehicle, and/or control the vehicle (e.g., a speed of the vehicle), for properly aligning the track and/or other purposes. This may be useful, for example, to help prevent rapid wear or other deterioration of the track and/or for various other reasons.
A monitoring system for a vehicle comprising a track for traction of the vehicle on a ground, the track comprising a ground-engaging outer surface and an inner surface opposite to the ground-engaging outer surface and being mounted around a track-engaging assembly configured to move the track around the track-engaging assembly, the track-engaging assembly comprising a plurality of wheels for engaging the track, the track being elastomeric to flex around the track-engaging assembly, the monitoring system comprising:
