Abstract
A vehicle operational diagnostics and condition response system includes at least an axle supporting a vehicle frame, a suspension disposed between and secured to each the vehicle frame and the axle, a load detection device interacting with the suspension and communicating with a system controller, wherein the system controller is supported by the vehicle frame, and a vehicle pairing circuit, the vehicle pairing circuit interacting with the system controller. The vehicle pairing circuit activated by the system controller in response to load detection data received by the system controller from the load detection device.
Claims20
A vehicle operational diagnostics and condition response system comprising:
- an axle supporting a vehicle frame of a commercial vehicle;
- a suspension disposed between and secured to each the vehicle frame and the axle;
- a load detection device interacting with the suspension and communicating with a system controller, the system controller supported by the vehicle frame;
- and
- a vehicle pairing circuit, the vehicle pairing circuit interacting with the system controller to establish a secure wireless connection with a trailer controller positioned on a trailer, the trailer separate from, and attached to, the vehicle frame.
A method:
- attaching a trailer to a tractor;
- connecting a trailer controller to a tractor controller, the trailer controller supported by a frame of the trailer;
- detecting, with the trailer controller, a load compressing a suspension of the trailer;
- and
- adjusting a pressure in a first tire attached to the suspension, as directed by the trailer controller in response to the detected load, while the first tire is in rolling motion about a first hub.
