ABSTRACT:
A brake control system/method for preventing or arresting and minimizing trailer brake induced trailer-swing in an articulated vehicle (10) is provided. The control system/method senses or calculates values indicative of articulation angle (AA) and/or time derivatives thereof (dAA/dt,) and indicative of vehicle dynamic turning radius of curvature (DTRC), or of steer angle (SA), and/or a time derivative thereof, and processes same to sense conditions indicative of an incipient or initial trailer brake induced trailer-swing event.
