Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A system and method for associating a vehicle and vehicle trailer is described. The system comprises one or more sensors that transmit information wirelessly to a tractor display unit. The tractor display unit determines whether the sensor is associated with a trailer to which it is connected and filters out messages from sensors that are not associated with its trailer. To determine which sensors are associated with its trailer, a processor in the tractor display unit synchronizes the reception of sensor messages with the reception of a synchronizing signal, such as a signal generated by operating an auxiliary power system, turn signal, or brake.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method for associating a trailer sensor with a vehicle comprising: transmitting a first synchronizing signal to a processor in response to a synchronization event; transmitting a first trailer sensor message from a measurement device operably associated with the trailer sensor to the processor in response to the synchronization event; establishing an association between the trailer sensor and the vehicle by determining whether the first trailer sensor…
