A METHOD/DEVICE FOR IMPROVING BRAKING PERFORMANCE ON WHEELED VEHICLE

摘要

The present invention provides a method/device to improve braking performance on a wheeled vehicle comprising at least one driving axle, the wheeled vehicle further comprising a collision warning system and an emergency braking system and an air suspension system, the air suspension system comprising at least one air suspension module associated with the at least one driving axle and the air suspension system being configured to control the air pressure in the at least one air suspension module associated with the at least one driving axle, the collision warning system being configured to monitor the environment of the wheeled vehicle, and to determine if and when the emergency braking system may need to be actuated, so that when the collision warning system determines the emergency braking system may need to be actuated, the method being implemented by the collision warning system and comprising one step implemented before eventually actuating the emergency braking system, said step comprising actuating the air suspension system to increase the air pressure on the at least one of air suspension module associated with the at least one driving axle.
