System and method for determining a cone index value

Abstract:

A work machine with a chassis, a wheel hub rotationally coupled to the chassis, a tire coupled to the wheel hub and configured to engage an underlying surface, and a controller communicating with a plurality of sensors and having a memory unit. Wherein, the controller stores tire data for the tire in the memory unit and the controller determines a cone index of the underlying surface of the work machine based on the tire data and the plurality of sensors.
