Wheel Speed differential (Detecting loss of traction)
Posted: Sun Apr 26, 2020 5:57 pm
I was thinking of using the frequency inputs to monitor the wheel speed of each wheel and then convert it to a differential value that can be used to detect loss of traction, under acceleration (Mighty Mini's don't tend to wheel spin much ) and more importantly under braking.
First off I guess I'm looking for an equation to calculate MPH from Hz, I guess from there I would create a custom variable that would calculate the difference between the wheel speed values. Is there any way of "highlighting" data when a threshold has been passed, that way it would be easy to tell the difference from the normal differential in cornering vs a loss of traction.
Can anyone help out on how to set this up in the analysis software (i'm using V8.5 if it make any difference)
