Abstract:
A vehicle trailer brake system and method with a hydraulic control line and supplementary line arranged between a towing vehicle and a towed trailer, wherein the trailer braking system is actuated from the towing vehicle by controlling the hydraulic pressure in the control line and the supplementary line. The trailer brake system may be operated to actuate a trailer brake using a trailer-based hydraulic accumulator, to provide for relatively fast response time for the trailer brake.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of controlling a hydraulic trailer brake system using a hydraulic fluid supply provided on a vehicle, wherein a control line (CL) and a supplementary line (SL) are arranged between the vehicle and a vehicle trailer for supply of hydraulic fluid to and from the trailer, the method comprising the steps of:\n monitoring the hydraulic fluid pressure in the CL and in the SL; receiving a user braking input; and controlling the pressure of hydraulic fluid in the CL and in the SL to control the operation of the trailer brake system, wherein said controlling is based on a combination of the received user braking input and the hydraulic fluid pressure in the CL and SL.
