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.
Claims22
A combination comprising:
- a powered tow unit;
- a first system controller supported by and in electrical interaction with the powered towing unit, said first system controller providing at least first control electronics confined by a first housing;
- a first pairing circuit confined by said first housing and in electronic communication with said first control electronics;
- a cargo transport unit mechanically coupled to the powered tow unit;
- a second system controller supported by said cargo transport unit, said second system controller providing at least a second control electronics confined by a second housing;
- and
- a second pairing circuit confined by said second housing and in electronic communication with the second control electronics, in which the second pairing circuit is in electronic communication with the first pairing circuit.
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.
A vehicle operational diagnostics and condition response system comprising:
- an first axle supporting a vehicle frame of a first commercial vehicle;
- a first suspension disposed between and secured to each the first vehicle frame and the first axle;
- a load detection device interacting with the first suspension and communicating with a first system controller, the first system controller supported by the first vehicle frame;
- a second axle supporting a second vehicle frame of a second commercial vehicle;
- a second suspension disposed between and secured to each the second vehicle frame and the second axle;
- a second load detection device interacting with the second suspension and communicating with a second system controller, the second system controller supported by the second vehicle frame;
- and
- a second vehicle pairing circuit, the second vehicle pairing circuit interacting with the second system controller, the second commercial vehicle associated with the first commercial vehicle;
- and
- an obstacle detection system providing a blind spot detection circuit, the blind spot detection circuit supported by the second vehicle frame, said blind spot detection circuit alerts an operator of a combined first and second vehicle of a presence of an obstacle in a blind spot of the combined first and second vehicle.
