PID traction Control

One of our mentors mentioned doing PID loops for traction control. I read the theory behind it, and understand most of it. I am just not sure where to get SetPoint values and where to take sensor readings, especially considering they say you should programatically get the set point value. I want to code in C++ (eveyone else wants to use LabView), so I need a little help with this. Do I use an accelerometer or encoders, or both and How do I get my setpoint ?
