A trailer electronic braking system for a road train comprising a tractor (100 and 200, figs 2-5) and a plurality of trailers (101, 102, 201 and 202, figs 2-5). The braking system comprises a braking ECU 13 on at least one trailer and an ABS system on a further trailer and communication means being provided so that the braking ECU on a first trailer and the ABS control unit on a second trailer are able to communicate with one another. In use, the braking ECU on the first receives an input from a respective sensor on the first trailer adapted to detect lateral acceleration 50 and/or wheel speed 5-8. In the event that said sensor detects lateral acceleration and/or a wheel speed indicative of a loss of stability, the sensor generates a signal for actuating stability control, which signal is passed via the communication means, such as a CAN bus 105 or ECU powerline 204, to the ABS control unit on the other trailer, so that the other trailer can actuate the brakes on that trailer. |
