Conclusion and Future Outlook

>> All right, guys. I'm going to jump in here because this is kind of an important point and Ralph the engineer wanted to clarify this a little bit further and now so I'm going to read you exactly what he sent me verbatim. Now the reason why you did not feel the difference between gain three and gain 9 on the empty trailer is based on the available grip level. On gain three the system stays right at the maximum grip level for the empty trailer. It is set so that at 100% brake request, the ABS just starts to kick in. If you overbreak the empty trailer with gain 9, but the grip level of the tires stays the same, the system will go into ABS, resulting in the same brake performance with the available grip level. All right, now back to your regularly scheduled program. And as we look at this, I can actually see where you have the input for the actual brake controller here. So correct, this is pure prototype at this point. What changes do you see happening as you move forward with this? >> So one change would be that we get rid of the pedal rod because this is technically where your brake pedal would mount, which in this scenario we don't need anymore. So this would be something where you just have it capped off, be a little smaller, easier to mount. >> Gone. Yeah. So, anything beyond here would be gone and it would just be capped off. And um another thing to note is that this system right now is ABS. But by adding an inertia measurement unit, so sensors basically, you can make this sway control capable. And it's not that you need to buy a new unit. You can flash a new software on it as you add the system to it. And then you can retrofit an existing ABS trailer into an ABS and sway control trailer. And another thing is that this unit is capable of triggering EPB, electronic parking brakes. So that means you could add different calipers to each wheel and you could then have an electric parking brake. So you just have a switch here in the box somewhere. You hit that, it locks the brakes. Hit it again, it opens it. For one, makes it safer for loading, unloading, but also a theft prevention cuz once you hit the brakes and you lock the box, nobody's going to drag the trailer away. >> Mhm. And then another thing is the breakaway could also work together with the parking brake. So that means once you come to a stop in a breakaway scenario, it could just clamp the brakes and then it could stay forever without draining the battery or anything like…
