Abstract
A computer system () has processing circuitry to assist in handling a set of differentials of a vehicle. The processing circuitry determines a required longitudinal force for driving the vehicle in a driving direction. The processing circuitry predicts a first longitudinal force of the vehicle according to a current configuration, and to predict second longitudinal forces of the vehicle using differential locking configurations associated with locking or unlocking the set of differentials. The processing circuitry is configured to, when the first longitudinal force is below the required longitudinal force, select one of the differential locking configurations for the vehicle to use, which selected differential locking configuration is associated with a second longitudinal force equal to, or greater than, the required longitudinal force.
