Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A system and method is disclosed for controlling at least one traction motor driving an axle on a vehicle. The vehicle includes a plurality of axles on which wheels are mounted. The method may include determining whether at least one of the wheels on at least one of the axles differs in diameter from at least one other wheel on a different one of the axles by more than a threshold value. The method may also include increasing a torque provided by a traction motor driving an axle with at least one wheel that has a larger diameter than at least one other wheel on a different axle.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method for controlling at least one traction motor driving an axle on a vehicle wherein the vehicle includes a plurality of axles on which wheels are mounted, and at least one sensor provided in association with at least one of the plurality of axles and the at least one traction motor to provide feedback to a controller, the method comprising: determining by the controller using signals obtained from the at least one sensor whether at least one of the whe…
