ANTISKID CONTROL UNIT AND DATA COLLECTION SYSTEM FOR VEHICLEBREAKING SYSTEM

摘要

A wheel speed transducer including a magnetic device associated with a wheel
and a sensor device associated with the axle of the wheel provides data
indicative of the velocity of the wheel. A processor located at the axle
receives the wheel speed data and processes it to perform antiskid control
functions. The velocity data is stored in a data concentrator also associated
with the axle. A tire pressure sensor, a brake temperature sensor and a brake
torque sensor, each associated with the wheel, send data to the processor at
the axle, for storage in the data concentrator. A transmitting antenna
associated with the axle and in communication with the data concentrator
transmits stored data to a receiving antenna associated with the wheel. A data
port at the wheel and in communication with the receiving antenna provides an
interface to an external device for receiving the data.
