Abstract:
1. A control system for a machine having a transmission system, the control system comprising: a first wheel speed sensor configured to generate a signal indicative of a wheel speed at a left-side drive wheel; a second wheel speed sensor configured to generate a signal indicative of a wheel speed at a right-side drive wheel; a cruise control module configured to maintain a desired wheel speed of the machine; and a controller in communication with the wheel speed sensors and the cruise control module, the controller configured to selectively deactivate the cruise control module based, at least in part, on the wheel speed at the left-side drive wheel compared to a first localized speed of the machine near the left-side drive wheel and the wheel speed of the right-side drive wheel compared to a second localized speed of the machine near the right-side drive wheel, the first and second localized speeds of the machine being different.
