Active trailer additional brake includes pneumatic cylinder integrated in exhaust pipe, which enables controlled or active actuation of existing brake system

摘要

The active additional brake for trailers includes a pneumatic cylinder integrated in the exhaust pipe. This enables a controlled or active actuation of the existing brake system. The cylinder is controlled by a sensor on the brake pedal of the vehicle towing the trailer so that the trailer brake is activated as early as possible and differences in speed between the vehicle and trailer are reduced.
