Abstract
Certain exemplary embodiments can provide for automatic power control and/or torque boost for retarding a machine. The automatic power control and/or torque boost can provide a control margin under retard. Certain exemplary embodiments comprise a method comprising: for a machine comprising a wheel drive system comprising a braking system, comparing an acceleration to a predetermined acceleration threshold; determining a dynamic maximum retard torque associated with the braking system based on said comparing activity; controlling a retard torque to no greater than the dynamic maximum retard torque; and affecting a retard power.
