An air-actuated braking management system, often found in heavy-duty vehicles and trailers, modulates braking force proportionally to the air pressure applied by the towing vehicle. This mechanism enhances safety and control when hauling significant loads. A common application involves integrating trailer brakes with the tow vehicle’s braking system, enabling synchronized and balanced deceleration.
Effective regulation of trailer braking is crucial for preventing jackknifing, trailer sway, and premature wear on the towing vehicle’s brakes. Historically, these systems represented a significant advancement over purely mechanical or electric braking solutions, offering improved responsiveness and reliability, especially in demanding operational environments. Benefits include enhanced stability, reduced stopping distances, and minimized risk of accidents during towing operations.
