Compatibility of<br />

Towing Vehicle and <strong>Trailer</strong><br />

Fig. 18: Adjusting the Band Position by Response<br />

Pressure Recognition<br />

band position, causes the retardation<br />

characteristics of the individual parts of a<br />

vehicle combination to be almost identical<br />

within the range of lower brake pressures,<br />

thereby achieving the most even lining<br />

wear possible on both vehicles within a<br />

tractor-trailer combination. In addition,<br />

total wear is reduced since the mean<br />

temperature level of the wheel brakes is<br />

reduced by optimizing brake force distribution.<br />

The improvement in compatibility<br />

through <strong>EBS</strong> is also achieved by means<br />

of a dynamic change of the band position,<br />

including the adaptation of the<br />

response pressure during the braking<br />

process, although the basic design of the<br />

individual parts of the tractor-trailer combination<br />

still has to lie within the compatibility<br />

band. For reasons of compatibility,<br />

the new <strong>EBS</strong> regulations allow a dynamic<br />

change of the towing vehicle’s band position<br />

ony, i. e. the position of the trailer<br />

within the compatibility band must not be<br />

subject to any dynamic change during<br />

the braking process.<br />

The change in the band position on the<br />

towing vehicle can be achieved by controlling<br />

the brake cylinder pressures<br />

and/or the hose coupling pressure.
