  • Method of determining an instataneously optimum pressure of trailer or semitrailer brakes
    Patent number: 5281006
    Abstract: A method determines an instantaneously optimum pressure of brakes of a trailer connected to a tractor. Regulation to a desired value of a coupling force existing between the tractor and the trailer is performed by varying the braking pressure of the trailer. A target value, in a braking process, of the pressure of the trailer brakes is determined at least indirectly from the assignment of pressure of the trailer brakes during at least one preceding braking process in which the coupling force has been set equal to its desired value.
