LOCOMOTIVE WHEELSLIP CONTROL SYSTEM ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A locomotive propulsion system includes wheelslip control with the following interrelated features: comparing the rotational speeds of the locomotive's separately driven wheels and detecting the highest and lowest; providing a reference speed value indicative of the rotational speed of a wheel that is not slipping; determining a desired maximum difference between the reference speed and a selected one of the detected speeds; deriving a speed error value by summing the reference speed, selected speed, and maximum difference; obtaining a wheelslip correction value which is a function of the speed error value; reducing the magnitude of voltage applied to the locomotive's traction motors in accordance with the correction value.
