The McLaughlin Truck/Trailer Control System
View through CrossRef
<div class="htmlview paragraph">With all the traffic congestion, accidents, and difficulty of operating Truck/Trailer vehicles, it is time to incorporate advanced technology into these systems to make them less prone to operator errors and minimize the number of accidents now occurring on our roads and highways. <b>The McLaughlin Truck/Trailer Control System</b> provides this needed technology This system contains automatic steering and braking control of the trailer wheels. The system also includes other operational features. <b>These features include: Electro-Magnetic Braking, Trailer Tilt Monitoring, Near Object Detection, Overhead Clearance Detection, Pulse Width Braking Control, Battery Recharging, and Motor Assist for Uphill Transitions.</b></div>
