摘要： A brake and communication system to remotely control the braking of a towed vehicle from a towing vehicle comprising a towing vehicle module including a microcontroller having logic and circuitry to generate a braking signal in response to braking of said towing vehicle fed through an automotive vehicle self-diagnostic device port and vehicle control unit interface to the brake system of the towed vehicle and the towed vehicle includes a microcontroller having logic and circuitry to generate a brake control signal fed to the brake system of the towed vehicle through a vehicle control unit interface and automotive self-diagnostic port to electronically actuate the towed vehicle brakes and to transfer data between said towing vehicle and the towed vehicle including information of selected vehicle control network operating parameters generated in the towed vehicle through said microcontroller to a remote monitor or display in said towing vehicle to show and to alert the driver of said towing vehicle of the status of selected operating parameters of the towed vehicle when in tow.

摘要： A braking control system and method to synchronize the operation of the braking system of a towed vehicle with the braking system of a towing vehicle to match the deceleration and acceleration of the towed vehicle with the deceleration and acceleration of the towing vehicle wherein the braking control system includes a braking device comprising an electrically driven linear actuator coupled between an electric motor and the brake pedal of the towed vehicle and a control device coupled to the electric motor and including logic to control operation of the electrically driven linear actuator to selectively extend and retract the electrically driven linear actuator to selectively depress and release the brake pedal of the towed vehicle as the towing vehicle decelerates and accelerates.
