Vehicle tyre adhesion control circuit - has microprocessor coupled to magnetic valves for controlled tyre inflation dependent on applied braking

摘要

The adhesion control circuit is used to increase the adhesion between the types of road vehicle, e.g.a tractor/trailer combination, during braking or acceleration, by controlled variation of the vehicle tyre pressure. The front and rear tyre perssures are monitored via press sensors coupled to a microprocsesor responding to the vehicle travel parameters to allow selective inflation or deflation of the tyres using controlled magnetic valves. ADVANTAGE - Allows required braking distance for vehicle to be reduced by between 22 and 23 per cent by using controlled deflation of vehicle tyres dependent on applied braking force.
