Claim 7:
8. Process for managing a safe actuation of an auxiliary traction in road implements, wherein the road implement is equipped with a management system comprising at least one sensing system, which reads multiple signals from at least one sensor installed on the road implement, and a control system that selects one operating mode from a set of predefined operating modes, being: i) electric traction, ii) regenerative braking or iii) free shaft, wherein:
the control system is provided with a security mode operation, where the control system is set as default to initiate and maintain in the operating mode iii) free shaft;
the process comprising:
a. receiving, by the control system, the multiple signals read by the at least one sensing system, and identification of the ground slope degree wherein the road implement is passed through; and
b. selecting one operating mode: i) electric traction or ii) regenerative braking, by the control system, the selection being performed based on at least the slope degree identified and based on checking multiple predefined safety requirements, wherein:
the control system is able to select and change the operating mode, in order to select the mode i) electric traction or ii) regenerative braking whether said predefined multiple safety requirements are fulfilled, being the predefined multiple safety requirements related to the multiple signals provided by the at least one sensing system to the control system;
the control system returns to the operating mode iii) free shaft when the control system identifies that the predefined multiple safety requirements are unfulfilled; and
the control system is provided with an order of priority for checking two or more requirements from the predefined multiple safety requirements.
