MONITORING FORWARD LEAPS OF AN ELECTRICALLY POWERED LAND VEHICLE ASSOCIATED WITH DIFFERENT TRAINS

Abstract

A monitoring method is implemented in a land vehicle comprising first and second electric power units delivering first and second motor torques to drive wheels belonging to first and second axles. This method includes a step (10-50) in which the difference between a sum of first and second torques at the wheels, determined as a function of the first and second motor torques delivered, and a setpoint for the total torque to be supplied to the drive wheels is determined. Then, when a value based on this determined difference does not satisfy a chosen forward leap criterion, the operation of one of the first and second electric power units is prohibited, and the other is forced to operate in a degraded mode.
