Measurement of braking uniformity of trailers and semi-trailers for coupling with vehicles with a GVW of up to 3.5 T and above

Abstract

As part of the work, an analysis of scientific literature and legal acts was conducted, and the assumptions for the operation of the device and its concept were prepared. The construction of the device, in accordance with the developed guidelines, was entrusted to an external company. After receiving the device, it was tested using sample measurements of the effectiveness and uniformity of trailer brake operation. This article describes the principle of operation of the device and presents the results of exemplary tests on the effectiveness and uniformity of braking performed using the device developed.
