Abstract

A method for managing a drive mode of a tracked vehicle, comprising the step of reading an output of a sensor and in response to the output of the sensor performing a control action to manage the drive mode of the vehicle.

Claims (28)

1 . A track system for traction of a vehicle on a ground, the track system comprising:

a plurality of wheels; and

a track disposed around the wheels and configured to move about the wheels, the track being elastomeric and comprising a ground-engaging outer surface configured to engage the ground, an inner surface opposite to the ground-engaging outer surface and a plurality of projections projecting from the ground-engaging outer surface and the inner surface,

wherein the track comprises a sensor, wherein at least part of the sensor is located in a cavity of a given one of the projections, wherein the plurality of wheels comprises a drive sprocket engaging the track via pins, and wherein the sensor has a sensing part adjacent a face of said given one of the projections engageable with at least one of the pins of the drive sprocket.

2 . The track system of claim 1 , wherein the sensor is disposed within elastomeric material of the track.

3 . The track system of claim 1 , wherein the sensor comprises a wireless transmitter configured to wirelessly transmit a signal.

4 . The track system of claim 1 , wherein the sensor is configured to output a signal processable by a processing apparatus to perform an action related to the vehicle.

5 . The track system of claim 4 , wherein the action related to the vehicle is an action controlling the vehicle.

6 . The track system of claim 5 , wherein the action controlling the vehicle is an action controlling power applied to the track system.

7 . The track system of claim 1 , wherein the sensor is configured to output a signal processable by a processing apparatus to convey information to a user.

8 . The track system of claim 7 , wherein the signal is processable by the processing apparatus to display the information to the user.

9 . The track system of claim 7 , wherein the signal is processable by the processing apparatus to convey the information to the user on a console of the vehicle.

10 . The track system of claim 7 , wherein the signal is processable by the processing apparatus to convey the information to the user on a device distinct from a console of the vehicle.

11 . The track system of claim 7 , wherein the information to the user is conveyed automatically in response to an event.

12 . The track system of claim 11 , wherein the event is indicative of potential failure of part of the track.

13 . The track system of claim 1 , wherein the sensor is configured to output a signal processable to generate information regarding the track.

14 . The track system of claim 13 , wherein the information regarding the track comprises information regarding usage of the track.

15 . The track system of claim 14 , wherein the information regarding usage of the track comprises information regarding a period of time that the track has been used.

16 . The track system of claim 13 , wherein the information regarding the track is directed to a manufacturer of at least one of the track and the vehicle.

17 . A vehicle comprising the track system of claim 1 .

18 . An apparatus for use in respect of a vehicle comprising a track system for traction of the vehicle on a ground, the track system comprising a plurality of wheels and a track that is disposed around the wheels and configured to move about the wheels, the track being elastomeric and comprising a ground-engaging outer surface configured to engage the ground, an inner surface opposite to the ground-engaging outer surface and a plurality of projections projecting from the ground-engaging outer surface and the inner surface,

wherein the track comprises a sensor, wherein at least part of the sensor is located in a cavity of a given one of the projections, wherein the plurality of wheels comprises a drive sprocket engaging the track via pins, and wherein the sensor has a sensing part adjacent a face of said given one of the projections engageable with at least one of the pins of the drive sprocket, the apparatus comprising:

a receiver to receive a signal output by the sensor; and

a processing device configured to perform an action based on the signal output by the sensor.

19 . A track system for traction of a vehicle on a ground, the track system comprising:

a plurality of wheels; and

a track disposed around the wheels and configured to move about the wheels, the track being elastomeric and comprising a ground-engaging outer surface configured to engage the ground, an inner surface opposite to the ground-engaging outer surface and a plurality of projections projecting from the ground-engaging outer surface and the inner surface,

wherein the track system comprises a sensor configured generate a signal processable by a processing apparatus to convey information to a user, wherein at least part of the sensor is located in a cavity of a given one of the projections, and wherein the plurality of wheels comprises a drive sprocket engaging the track via pins, and wherein the sensor has a sensing part adjacent a face of said given one of the projections engageable with at least one of the pins of the drive sprocket.
