METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ESTIMATING THE LOAD OF AN AGGREGATE BEING POWER SUPPLIED BY A MOTOR

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for estimating the load of an aggregate being power supplied by a motor such as an internal combustion engine or electric motor in a vehicle, said vehicle including a gearbox for connecting an output shaft of said motor to half shafts for providing geared transmission of power from said engine to at least one driving wheel of said vehicle, said vehicle further including at least one power take-off (PTO) for providing power from said motor to one or more aggregates, said PTO being arranged on the engine side of said gearbox. The method includes the step of estimating the load said aggregate is exerting on the motor during a period of time when said half shafts are disconnected from said motor output shaft.
