Abstract
A method for controlling acceleration of a work vehicle may generally include determining a vehicle speed error based on a desired speed and an actual speed of the work vehicle, calculating an initial acceleration command based on the vehicle speed error, monitoring a current engine load on the vehicle engine, determining an engine load error for the engine based on the current engine load and calculating an acceleration limit for the work vehicle based on the engine load error, wherein the acceleration limit is calculated via a PID control algorithm implemented by a computing device of the vehicle. The method may also include controlling the operation of the engine and/or the transmission of the work vehicle based on a final acceleration command to adjust the actual speed of the work vehicle, wherein the final acceleration command corresponds to the lesser of the initial acceleration command and the acceleration limit.
