Calculation method
Calculation method
Observed wheel slip (%)
100 × (theoretical travel − measured ground travel) / theoretical travel.
Theoretical minus ground distance (m)
Theoretical travel − measured ground travel.

Assumptions & limits
Assumptions & limits
- A measured distance ratio under your declared theoretical rolling distance. Negative values are retained when ground travel exceeds that reference; this can reflect rolling conditions or measurement conventions. No traction-setting recommendation is made.
