The present invention relates to a method of controlling a tandem axle assembly in a vehicle. The tandem axle assembly includes an inter-axle differential (IAD), one or more side gears, and a front tandem axle assembly having a pair of front tandem axle half shafts selectively connected to a pair of front tandem axle wheel hub assemblies. When the determined speed of the vehicle is greater or equal to the predetermined speed, the IAD may be locked, the tandem axle wheel hub assemblies may be disconnected from their respective tandem axle shafts, and/or the IAD may be moved out of engagement with the one or more side gears. When the determined speed of the vehicle is less than the predetermined speed, the IAD may be unlocked, the tandem axle wheel hub assemblies may be connected to their respective tandem axle shafts, and/or the IAD may be engaged with the one or more side gears.
一种控制车辆中的串列桥组件的方法,串列桥组件包括:桥间差速器(IAD)、一个或多个侧齿轮,以及前串列桥组件,该前串列桥组件具有选择性地连接至一对前串列桥轴轮毂组件的一对前串列桥半轴。当车辆的确定的速度大于或等于预定速度时,可以将IAD锁定,可以将串列桥轮毂组件从其各自的串列桥解除连接,和/或可以将IAD脱离与一个或多个侧齿轮的啮合。当车辆的确定的速度小于预定速度时,可以将IAD解锁,可以将串列桥轮毂组件连接到其各自的串列桥,和/或可以将IAD与一个或多个侧齿轮的啮合。
