Abstract
Techniques for real-time virtual sensing of an axle assembly temperature include determining, at a controller of a vehicle, an initial temperature of an axle assembly of the vehicle based on an ambient temperature and a fluid temperature of a transmission. The techniques include determining, at the controller, an operating mode of the vehicle, the operating mode of the vehicle being one of moving and non-moving. The techniques also include estimating, at the controller, a temperature of the axle assembly based on the initial axle assembly temperature and the vehicle operating mode using an axle temperature model.
