Knott: Simulation approves benefits from self-adjusting brakes

The vehicle dynamics simulation software veDYNA has been successfully deployed by Knott Trailertechnik for the development of the electronic trailer stabilization (ETS) system. And in addition, Knott has raised the trailer safety by adding a self-adjusting braking system. With the help from veDYNA it has been proven that the trailer stability through the combination from ETS and the self-adjusting braking system was once again significantly improved.

In the comparative animation you can see:

• ETS also stabilizes trailers with strongly unequally pulling brakes (left vehicle).
• ETS combined with automatic braking adjustment stabilizes the vehicle trailer combination clearly faster (right vehicle).
