  • METHOD OF CONTROLLING MACHINES WITH CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANSMISSION
    Publication number: 20160236688
    Abstract: A method is provided for controlling a machine having a continuously variable transmission travelling on a ground surface. The method receives signals indicative of an inclination of the ground surface and a payload carried by the machine through an inclination sensor and a payload sensor respectively. The method further includes determining a retarding capability of the machine. The method determines a maximum allowable operating speed for the machine based at least on the inclination of the ground surface, a mass of the machine, the payload carried by the machine and the retarding capability of the machine.
