<p>An automated auxiliary axle deployment control system for a load hauling vehicle having a time-variable payload and one or more fluid-operated auxiliary support axles, and one or more load sensing devices (162, 164, 166) for determining the payload distribution of the vehicle in real time. One or more automatically operable pressure modulation valves (152, 154) adjust the pressure applied to the one or more auxiliary axles to adjust the load carrying capacity based on payload distribution, as directed by output control signals from a signal processing system (160) connected to the load sensing devices.</p> |
