A control method for controlling movement of an off-highway vehicle comprises acquiring a plurality of actual train speed measurements from at least one sensor during a journey, and acquiriing a train power parameter corresponding to each of the plurality of actual train speed measurements. A plurality of resistance parameters are estimated or otherwise determined from the plurality of actual train speed measurements and the corresponding train power parameters. Movement of the off-highway vehicle (e.g., throttle commands) is based at least in part on the plurality of resistance parameters, which may be incorporated into a vehicle operation model and/or route plan according to which the vehicle is controlled.
