Abstract
A method and apparatus for controlling the brake force at the wheels of a trailer provided with a tow-bar in the sense of an elimination of the force occurring between the towing vehicle and the trailer, in which the static characteristic magnitude and at least one of the dynamic characteristic magnitudes are combined to form the control magnitude for the brake force of the trailer brake.

A method for controlling the brake force at the wheels of a trailer provided with a tow-bar in the sense of eliminating forces occurring between the towing vehicle and the trailer, comprising the steps of measuring a static characteristic magnitude and separately measuring at least one of the dynamic characteristic magnitudes, and combining said magnitudes at least indirectly to form the control magnitude for the brake force of the trailer brake.
An apparatus for controlling the brake force at the wheels of a trailer provided with a two-bar means in the sense of eliminating forces occurring between the towing vehicle and the trailer, characterized by measuring means for measuring the static characteristic magnitude and measuring means for measuring at least one of the dynamic characteristic magnitudes, and combining means for combining at least indirectly said characteristic magnitudes to form thereby the control magnitude for the brake force of the trailer brake.
