  2. Trailer brake controller - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trailer_brake_controller

    A brake controller is usually an original equipment manufacturer or aftermarket-installed device or module. It is mounted to the tow vehicle's driver's-side dashboard area, and engages a trailer's electrical braking system either time delayed, or in proportion to the tow vehicle's brake engagement when slowing down or coming to a halt.

  3. Electric friction brake - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_friction_brake

    An electric friction brake, often referred to as just electric brake [1] or electric trailer brake, is a brake controlled by an electric current and can be seen on medium duty trailers like caravans/RVs and consumer-grade car trailers.

    Master Brake Systems 'BrakeSmart' TBC is the only other TBC that taps into the trucks hydraulic lines in modern trucks. The TowCommand TBC is made of three major components; the in-dash TBC module, a TowCommand master cylinder with a brake pressure transducer, and an activated PCM ( Powertrain Control Module ) parameter by a Ford dealer's NGS ...

  5. Electronically controlled pneumatic brakes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronically_controlled...

    When the brake pipe and car components are charged with air, the brakes release. When the engineer needs to make a brake application, control valves in the locomotive reduce the brake pipe pressure. As the brake pipe pressure is reduced, the service portions on each car divert air from their reservoirs to their brake cylinders.

  6. Cornering brake control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornering_Brake_Control

    Cornering Brake Control (CBC) is an automotive safety measure that improves handling performance by distributing the force applied on the wheels of a vehicle while turning corners. Introduced by BMW in 1992, the technology is now featured in modern electric and gasoline vehicles such as cars, motorcycles, and trucks.

  7. Sensotronic Brake Control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensotronic_Brake_Control

    Sensotronic Brake Control (SBC) is an electro-hydraulic brake system developed by Daimler and Bosch. In this system, the wheel brake cylinders of a vehicle are operated through a servomechanism, offering precise and responsive braking. The SBC system was first introduced on the R230 SL-class, which was released in Europe in October 2001. [1]

  8. Traction control system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traction_control_system

    Here the pneumatic brake system needs some additional valves and control logic to realize a TCS (or sometimes called ASR) system. [2] In motorcycles: Traction control for production motorcycles was first available with the BMW K1 in 1988. Honda offered Traction Control as an option, along with ABS, on their ST1100 beginning about 1992.

  9. Brake-by-wire - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake-by-wire

    SpeedE, an academic concept car developed for studying drive-by-wire technologies such as brake-by-wire. Brake-by-wire technology in the automotive industry is the ability to control brakes through electronic means, without a mechanical connection that transfers force to the physical braking system from a driver input apparatus such as a pedal or lever.
