APPLICATION OF BRAKING FORCE DURING ENGINE FORCE DISENGAGEMENT

摘要

An apparatus for and method of controlling forces transmitted to wheels/tracks of a vehicle. The method includes receiving an electrical indication that a first brake is engaged, such as by a user pressing his foot to a service brake. The method further includes electrically transmitting an instruction to apply force restricting movement of the wheels, such as force exerted from a brake, in an amount above a first threshold, such as an amount necessary to unilaterally prevent movement. The method also includes electrically transmitting an instruction to reduce force being applied to the wheels from a transmission while the (brake) force above the first threshold is applied.

1. A method of controlling force transmitted to a ground engaging member of a vehicle including:
receiving an electrical indication that a first brake is engaged; electrically transmitting an instruction to apply force restricting movement of the ground engaging member in an amount above a first threshold; and electrically transmitting an instruction to reduce force being applied to the ground engaging member via a drivetrain while force above the first threshold is applied.
