Abstract
An off-road vehicle includes a driveline, a control system, and a braking system. The driveline provides driveline power and driveline brake power to a first tractive assembly and/or a second tractive assembly. The control system stores vehicle information, determines driving instructions based on environment data, and determines speed references for tractive elements of the first and second tractive assemblies based on the driving instructions and the vehicle information. The braking system includes brakes and a braking subsystem. The brake subsystem operates the brakes to provide brake power to one or more components of the first and/or second tractive assemblies. The brake controller controls the brakes to selectively provide the brake power and the control system controls the driveline to selectively provide the driveline power and the driveline brake power based on current speeds of the tractive elements and the speed references to accommodate the driving instructions.
