ABSTRACT:
A tractor-(28) trailer (30) vehicle (24) brake system control for distributing the brake effort to obtain inter-tractor-trailer proportional braking (H.sub.1 /V.sub.1 =H.sub.2 /V.sub.2) by use of sensors (80, 170, 172) mounted to the trailer only is provided. The control system senses (80) acceleration (a) and the ratio of vertical to horizontal forces (H.sub.F /V.sub.F) at the fifth wheel/king pin connection (34/176) by means of sensors (170, 172) mounted to the trailer (30) only and modulates the trailer sub-vehicle brakes only to cause the ratio H.sub.F /V.sub.F to equal a function of acceleration.
