Abstract

A method for dynamically controlling a vehicle having at least one wheel includes: measuring a wheel speed of the at least one wheel as a measured wheel speed; determining whether the measured wheel speed exceeds a slip value threshold; and if the measured wheel speed exceeds the slip value threshold, calculating a wheel speed control value based on a center of gravity of the vehicle and at least one of: a vehicle mass of the vehicle, a vehicle slope of the vehicle, an articulation angle of the vehicle, a vehicle speed of the vehicle, and a vehicle direction of the vehicle; and controlling a desired wheel speed of the at least one wheel based on the wheel speed control value.
