Assignee: RANGE ENERGY INC.
Field: Transport (Mechanical engineering)
Classification: CPC G  B | IPC B  G

Claim 1:
2. The method of claim 1:
wherein detecting the first direction of motion of the trailer comprises detecting the first direction of motion of the trailer in a forward direction;
further comprising calculating a first speed variance of the trailer during the first time period based on the first speed;
wherein calculating the first target preload force comprises calculating the first target preload force proportional to the first tractor-trailer angle and proportional to the first speed variance;
wherein calculating the second tractor-trailer angle comprises calculating the second tractor-trailer angle less than the first tractor-trailer angle;
further comprising calculating a second speed variance of the trailer during the second time period based on the second speed, the second speed variance greater than the first speed variance;
wherein detecting the second direction of motion of the trailer comprises detecting the second direction of motion of the trailer in the forward direction; and
wherein calculating the second target preload force comprises calculating the second target preload force, approximating the first target preload force, proportional to the second tractor-trailer angle and proportional to the second speed variance.
