Definitions:

Spinout

A situation where a vehicle loses traction, causing it to rotate uncontrollably.

Power Divider

A mechanical device in vehicles, particularly in heavy-duty trucks, that splits the driving force between the front and rear axles to improve traction.

Interaxle Differential

A mechanism that allows for differential speeds between the front and rear axles of a multi-axle vehicle, improving maneuverability and traction.

Controlled Traction

Differential gearing that uses a friction plate assembly to transfer drive torque from a slipping wheel (sensed by axle shaft spinout) to its opposite.
