Differential Control Component

Differential locking/bias control component for driving dynamics. Adjusts differential lock percentage or bias ratio based on supervisor commands to control torque distribution across an axle.

State Fields

FieldTypeDescription
isActive, isActingAsYCbooleanStatus flags.

Public API

FunctionDescription
actAsYawControl(measuredYaw, expectedYaw, yawDifference, bodySlipAngle, dt)Adjusts differential locking constraints to mitigate oversteer or assist in cornering.
registerCMU(cmu)Links to the CMU.
module.setDebugMode(debugEnabled)Sets the debug mode.
module.shutdown()Shuts down the module and cleans up resources.
module.setParameters(parameters)CMU.applyParameter(controlParameters, initialControlParameters, parameters, "tractionControl")
module.setConfig(configTable)Sets the config.
module.getConfig()Returns the config.

Hooks

HookDescription
initSecondStage(jbeamData)Identifies front and rear active differentials and registers with supervisors.
module.initLastStage(jbeamData)Final-stage initialization after all controllers and powertrains are ready.
module.reset()Resets the controller to its initial state.
module.updateGFX(dt)Per-frame update for visual state and UI synchronization.

Brake Control Component

Individual wheel brake control component for driving dynamics interventions. Applies targeted brake pressure to specific wheels as commanded by traction or yaw control supervisors to correct slip or yaw errors.

Motor Torque Control Component

Engine/motor torque reduction component for driving dynamics interventions. Reduces drive torque as commanded by traction or yaw supervisors to limit wheelspin or correct stability issues.
