AXLE TORQUE CONTROL CORRESPONDING TO WHEEL SIZES

摘要

A system and method is disclosed for controlling at least one traction motor (122) driving an axle (30) on a vehicle (18). The vehicle (18) includes a plurality of axles (30) on which wheels (100) are mounted. The method may include determining whether at least one of the wheels (100) on at least one of the axles (30) differs in diameter from at least one other wheel (100) on a different one of the axles (32) by more than a threshold value. The method may also include increasing a torque provided by a traction motor (122) driving an axle (30) with at least one wheel (100) that has a larger diameter than at least one other wheel (100) on a different axle (32).
