A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11951840B2) discloses a system designed to manage the safe actuation of auxiliary traction in road implements. The system includes at least one sensing system that reads signals from sensors installed on the road implement, and a control system that selects an operating mode from predefined options such as electric traction, regenerative braking, and free shaft. The control system also features a security mode operation and checks multiple safety requirements before changing the operating mode. The sensing system comprises various sensors like angular motion sensors, brake use sensors, and geolocation sensors, operating redundantly to ensure safety in the actuation of auxiliary traction.

Furthermore, the patent describes a process for managing the safe actuation of auxiliary traction in road implements, where the control system selects operating modes based on factors like ground slope degree, speed thresholds, and angle thresholds between the road implement and a tractor vehicle. The system also includes a rationalizing function that utilizes predictive information of ramps and slopes in the route to choose appropriate operating modes. The control system prioritizes safety requirements and reverts to a default free shaft mode if the requirements are not met, ensuring the safe management of auxiliary traction in road implements.
