Abstract
A computer system has processing circuitry to handle wheel slip of at least one wheel of a vehicle. The processing circuitry obtains road properties for one or more road segments of a road travelled or to be travelled by the vehicle. The road properties are indicative of a curvature of the one or more road segments. For each of the one or more road segments, a longitudinal slip limit is determined based on the road properties for the respective road segment. The longitudinal slip limit indicates a maximum allowed longitudinal slip for the at least one wheel in the respective road segment.
Claims15
A computer system comprising processing circuitry configured to handle wheel slip of at least one wheel of a vehicle, the processing circuitry is further configured to:
- obtain road properties for one or more road segments of a road travelled or to be travelled by the vehicle, the road properties being indicative of a curvature of the one or more road segments,
- for each of the one or more road segments, determine a longitudinal slip limit based on the road properties for the respective road segment, the longitudinal slip limit indicating a maximum allowed longitudinal slip for the at least one wheel in the respective road segment.
A computer-implemented method for handling wheel slip of at least one wheel of a vehicle, the method comprising:
- by processing circuitry of a computer system, obtaining road properties for one or more road segments of a road travelled or to be travelled by the vehicle, the road properties being indicative of a curvature of the one or more road segments,
- by the processing circuitry, for each of the one or more road segments, determining a longitudinal slip limit based on the road properties for the respective road segment, the longitudinal slip limit indicating a maximum allowed longitudinal slip for the at least one wheel in the respective road segment.
