  • Load-dependent trailer brake system and method of controlling such
    Patent number: 11279334
    Abstract: A trailer brake system that generates load-dependent braking forces. Variable trailer load information is used to generate load-dependent control signals which serve to control an electrically-controlled proportional valve. A load sensing valve serves to modify brake command signals in dependence on a control pressure that is regulated by the proportional valve.
