A method of measuring rolling resistance of a machine is disclosed. The
method may include determining a drive axle torque value of the machine
and calculating a total effective grade value using the drive axle torque
value. The method may further include determining at least one drivetrain
efficiency loss factor value and calculating a total drivetrain
efficiency loss value of the machine using the at least one drivetrain
efficiency loss factor value. The method may also include determining
position data of the machine and calculating an actual grade value based
on the position data. The method may additionally include calculating a
rolling resistance value of the machine by subtracting the actual grade
value and the drivetrain efficiency loss value from the total effective
grade value and outputting the rolling resistance value.
