摘要： A device and method operated thereby may control a hydraulic pump to pump a hydraulic fluid into a chamber of a piston coupled to a fifth wheel of the tractor to raise the fifth wheel. The device, and method operated thereby, may sense, at intervals as the fifth wheel rises, a pressure value of the hydraulic fluid in the chamber. The device, and method operated thereby, may process the pressure values to determine when the landing gear is lifted off the ground.

摘要： A system and method for operation of an autonomous vehicle (AV) yard truck is provided. A processor facilitates autonomous movement of the AV yard truck, and connection to and disconnection from trailers. A plurality of sensors are interconnected with the processor that sense terrain/objects and assist in automatically connecting/disconnecting trailers. A server, interconnected, wirelessly with the processor, that tracks movement of the truck around and determines locations for trailer connection and disconnection. A door station unlatches/opens rear doors of the trailer when adjacent thereto, securing them in an opened position via clamps, etc. The system computes a height of the trailer, and/or if landing gear of the trailer is on the ground and interoperates with the fifth wheel to change height, and whether docking is safe, allowing a user to take manual control, and optimum charge time(s). Reversing sensors/safety, automated chocking, and intermodal container organization are also provided.

摘要： A computerized control system for automating the process of connecting, disconnecting and leveling a fifth wheel RV. This system replaces the manually operated up/down pushbutton switches that control the movement of the motorized supports legs at the front of the RV. It is connected to the RV's battery and support legs motor. When it is time to disconnect the fifth wheel tow vehicle from the RV, the user presses the “Disconnect” button. The system automatically moves the RV's support legs down until it detects that the RV is at the disconnect position and then stops. The user can then disconnect the fifth wheel normally. When it is time to level the RV, the user presses the “Auto Level” button and the system automatically lowers the RV to a level position. When it is time to reconnect the RV to the truck, the user presses the “Connect” button and the system automatically raises the RV back to the exact same height as before it was disconnected. After the RV and the truck have been connected, the final step is to fully retract the RV legs to travel height. The user presses the “Retract” button which causes the system to raise the RV legs and then automatically stops when they have reached travel height. If the user needs to manually adjust the up/down position of the RV for any reason, the system has “Up” and “Down” buttons that provide the same functionality as the RV's up/down switches it replaced.

摘要翻译： 一种用于自动化连接，断开和调平第五轮RV的过程的计算机化控制系统。 该系统取代了手动操作的上/下按钮开关，用于控制RV前部的机动支撑腿的运动。 它连接到RV的电池和支撑腿电机。 如果是第五轮拖车从RV断开的时候，用户按下“断开”按钮。 系统自动将RV的支撑腿向下移动，直到它检测到RV处于断开位置，然后停止。 然后用户可以正常断开第五轮。 当它是RV的等级时，用户按“自动级别”按钮，系统自动将RV降低到一个水平位置。 当需要将RV重新连接到卡车时，用户按下“连接”按钮，系统将自动将RV恢复到与断开连接前相同的高度。 RV和卡车连接后，最后一步是将RV腿完全收回行驶高度。 用户按下“Retract”按钮，导致系统升高RV腿，然后在达到行驶高度时自动停止。 如果用户由于任何原因需要手动调整RV的上/下位置，则系统具有“Up”和“Down”按钮，提供与RV所更换的RV / DOWN开关相同的功能。

摘要： Typical fifth wheel hitch assemblies require the operator to leave the cab of the vehicle to put the fifth wheel hitch assembly into position to receive a king pin of a trailer. The present invention is a fifth wheel hitch assembly that comprises a base assembly, a head assembly pivotally connected to the base assembly about a generally horizontal axis, the head assembly being pivotable between a raised position and a lowered position, and at least one biasing member urging the head assembly into the raised position.

摘要： An electronic system that includes a trailer sensor, a lock sensor and a control circuit determines whether a trailer hitch assembly is properly coupled to a trailer. The trailer sensor senses the position of the trailer relative to the trailer hitch assembly and the lock sensor senses the position of the locking mechanism. The control circuit is coupled to the trailer sensor and the lock sensor and masks an output of the lock sensor for a first predetermined stabilization period after the control circuit initially determines that the trailer hitch assembly is properly coupled to the trailer.
