System and method for automatically controlling vehicle speed based on track-related temperatures of a work vehicle
First Claim
1. A system for automatically controlling vehicle speeds of a track-based work vehicle, the system comprising:
- a track assembly including a track, a drive wheel configured to rotationally drive the track and at least one secondary wheel configured to engage the track;
a controller including one or more processors and associated memory, the memory storing instructions that, when implemented by the one or more processors, configure the controller to;
receive one or more signals associated with an operating temperature for at least one of the track or the at least one secondary wheel;
compare the operating temperature to a predetermined temperature threshold defined for the at least one of the track or the at least one secondary wheel; and
automatically limit a vehicle speed of the track-based work vehicle when the operating temperature exceeds the predetermined temperature threshold.

Abstract
A method for automatically controlling vehicle speeds of a track-based work vehicle may generally include receiving, with a computing device, one or more signals associated with an operating temperature for a track component of a track assembly of the track-based work vehicle, comparing, with the computing device, the operating temperature for the track component to a predetermined temperature threshold defined for the track component and automatically limiting, with the computing device, a vehicle speed of the track-based work vehicle when the operating temperature for the track component exceeds the predetermined temperature threshold.
