Abstract
A method for executing multi-mode turns with a work vehicle includes transmitting initial steering and braking commands for controlling an operation of a steering actuator(s) and a steering brake(s), respectively, of the work vehicle to initiate execution of a multi-mode turning operation. The method also includes determining allowable steering and braking rates for the work vehicle based at least in part on an actual steering rate and an actual braking rate, respectively, of the work vehicle during execution of the multi-mode turning operation, and determining updated steering and braking commands based at least in part on the allowable steering and braking rates. In addition, the method includes transmitting the updated steering and braking commands to control the operation of the steering actuator(s) and the steering brake(s), respectively, to continue execution of the multi-mode turning operation.
