Abstract: An air management system for a vehicle having a first pneumatic circuit and a second pneumatic circuit, in which the first and second pneumatic circuits are pneumatically connected in a neutral position via a cross-flow mechanism. The first pneumatic circuit is configured to independently adjust air pressure of a first side of the vehicle. The second pneumatic circuit is configured to independently adjust air pressure of a second side of the vehicle. The system is configured to establish pneumatic communication between the first and second pneumatic circuits when the air management system is not independently adjusting the adjust air pressure of the first side of the vehicle and the air pressure of the second side of the vehicle in the cross-flow mode.

Abstract: Systems and methods for load monitoring and/or braking control. The load monitoring may include calculating a weight on one or more axles of a vehicle or a trailer using cross-flow pressure information indicative of an air pressure within a cross-flow passage between first and second leveling valves of first and second pneumatic circuits configured to adjust independently heights on first and second sides, respectively, of the vehicle or the trailer. The braking control may include (i) using the cross-flow pressure and speed and/or acceleration information indicative of a speed and/or acceleration of the vehicle and/or the trailer to calculate first and second brake application levels and (ii) applying the calculated first and second brake application levels to first and second brakes on the first and second sides, respectively, of the vehicle or the trailer.

Abstract: An air management system for a vehicle having a supply tank, a system controller integrated with the supply tank, a first pneumatic circuit pneumatically connected to the system controller, and a second pneumatic circuit pneumatically connected to the system controller. The system controller adjusts independently air pressure of the first pneumatic circuit and the second pneumatic circuit without establishing pneumatic communication between the first and second pneumatic circuits. The system controller establishes pneumatic communication between the first and second pneumatic circuits when the system controller is not adjusting independently the air pressure of the first pneumatic circuit and the second pneumatic circuit.
