Abstract
A process is disclosed for determining the overrun force which is produced by a trailer on a tractor during the braking operation without the requirement of a force sensor on the coupling. This process consists essentially of determining the equilibrium of the forces acting upon the tractor in the vertical direction, the equilibrium of forces acting upon the tractor in the horizontal direction, and finally determining the overrun force from the vertical and horizontal equilibrium of forces.
