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 15):
An article of manufacture, comprising:\n a non-transitory computer storage medium having a computer program encoded thereon that when executed by a controller controls a trailer wheel brake on a trailer in a tractor-trailer, the computer program including code for: determining, in response to a command to apply a trailer wheel brake of a trailer of the tractor-trailer, a speed of the tractor-trailer responsive to a speed signal generated by a vehicle speed sensor and indicative of the speed of the tractor-trailer; establishing a threshold speed responsive to a level of friction between the tractor-trailer and a road surface on which the tractor-trailer is travelling; and, generating 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 the threshold speed 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.
