Abstract:
A system and method for controlling wheel brakes on a trailer in a tractor-trailer are provided. Upon receiving a command to apply a trailer wheel brake, the system determines a speed of the tractor-trailer responsive to a speed signal generated by a vehicle speed sensor. The system also estimates a threshold speed based on a level of friction between the tractor-trailer and a road surface on which the tractor-trailer is travelling. The system then generates a control signal to control delivery of fluid pressure to the trailer wheel brake. The control signal causes delivery of a first fluid pressure to the trailer wheel brake when the speed meets a predetermined condition relative to the threshold speed and a second fluid pressure, less than the first fluid pressure, when the speed does not meet the predetermined condition.

Claim (Index 10):
A system for controlling wheel brakes on a trailer in a tractor-trailer, comprising:\n a vehicle speed sensor configured to generate a speed signal indicative of a speed of the tractor-trailer; and, a controller configured to\n receive a command to apply a trailer wheel brake of a trailer of the tractor-trailer; \n determine, in response to the command, the speed of the tractor-trailer responsive to the speed signal; \n determine, in response to the command, a value for an operating parameter of the tractor-trailer indicative of a level of friction between the tractor-trailer and a road surface on which the tractor-trailer is travelling; and, \n generate a control signal to control delivery of fluid pressure to the trailer wheel brake wherein the control signal is configured to cause delivery of a first fluid pressure to the trailer wheel brake when the speed meets a first predetermined condition relative to a threshold speed and the value of the operating parameter meets a second predetermined condition and a second fluid pressure, less than the first fluid pressure, when the speed does not meet the first predetermined condition relative to the threshold speed or the value of the operating parameter does not meet the second predetermined condition.
