A trailer electronic braking system with a communications interface wherein control functions may be actuated by a remote device

摘要

A trailer electronic braking system comprising a braking device capable of generating a braking force on a wheel on the trailer. The braking force is applied to the brake cylinders and is controllable by a braking ECU 13, which braking ECU 13 is connected to a standards compliant communication bus on said trailer. The ECU 13 is adapted to receive data inputs from sensors 5, 6 on the trailer. The system further comprises means to interface to trailer electronics and a communications interface. In use, the means transmits a request to the device for a driver to apply a predetermined condition to the trailer to enable control functions to be actuated from a remote device (figure 2).
