1. A motion control system for controlling one or more torque generating devices on a heavy-duty vehicle, the system comprising:
a primary sensor system with a primary sensor control unit configured to interpret an output signal of the primary sensor system, and
one or more tire sensor devices mounted on, in, or in connection to, one or more tires of the heavy-duty vehicle, and a tire sensor control unit configured to interpret an output signal of the one or more tire sensor devices,
wherein the motion control system is arranged to base motion control of the heavy-duty vehicle on output data of the tire sensor control unit in case of malfunction in the primary sensor system and/or in the primary sensor control unit, and on output data of the primary sensor control unit otherwise.
