Abstract
The present disclosure may relate to a computer readable medium containing instructions that include obtaining a first signal corresponding to an idler roller guide speed, obtaining a second signal corresponding to a tire speed, and obtaining a third signal corresponding to a motor speed. The instructions may also include comparing the idler roller guide speed to an idler threshold based on a relationship between the idler roller guide speed, the tire speed, and the motor speed and comparing the motor speed to a motor threshold based on the relationship. The instructions may additionally include, based on one or both of the idler roller guide speed exceeding the idler threshold and the motor speed exceeding the motor threshold, determining that a slippage has occurred, and in response to the slippage, initiating a corrective action.
