Abstract
Default trailer model data stored in a memory device of a braking control apparatus is used to generate a default trailer braking signal for activating brakes on a default towed vehicle. An application trailer braking model different than the default trailer braking model is determined based on application trailer configuration data alone or in combination with the default trailer braking model. The application trailer configuration data is representative of an application value of an equipment parameter of the towed vehicle. Compensated trailer braking control data is determined by applying primal trailer braking control data representative of a primal trailer braking control signal to the determined application trailer braking model, and an output circuit generates a compensated trailer braking control signal for delivery to a modulator valve that is responsive to the compensated trailer braking control signal to activate brakes on the towed vehicle.
