Systems and methods for coordinating e-trailer propulsion

Abstract

Systems and methods for coordinating propulsion of an e-trailer are provided. The system may comprise the e-trailer. The e-trailer may comprise a battery, a motor configured to propel the e-trailer, and a trailer controller, comprising a processor and a memory. The system may comprise a tow vehicle coupled to the e-trailer and configured to pull the e-trailer, and a sensor configured to determine one or more of a force exerted from the tow vehicle to the e-trailer and a force exerted from the e-trailer to the tow vehicle. The trailer controller may be configured to determine one or more data points associated with the tow vehicle, and adjust a propulsion of the e-trailer, using the motor, based on the one or more data points.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
