ABSTRACT:
An all-weather braking aid for a vehicle having brakes actuated by air pressure. The all-weather braking aid includes at least one motion detector responsive to inertia of the vehicle. A sensor is operatively engaged with the motion detector and a switch is activated by the sensor. The pressurized air is directed to a valve, the valve is normally in an open position to allow flow of the air pressure and movable to a closed position to interrupt the air pressure. The timer is engaged with the switch in order to close the valve for one selected duration and then open the valve for another selected duration, thereby providing controlled intermittent braking.
