Electro-hydraulic Assisted Active Reversing Control (ARC) improves the safety of semi-trailer reversing by:
Automatic control: When the driver of the semi-trailer is in reverse gear, the ARC system is actively activated, using innovative sensor technology to automatically detect and control the direction and Angle of the steering bridge. This automatic control reduces the complexity of manual operation required by the driver when reversing, reducing the risk of accidents caused by operational errors.
Limiting reverse speed: The ARC system allows a maximum reverse speed of 10km/h, which helps maintain control of the semi-trailer during the reverse process and reduces the possibility of accidents due to excessive speed.
Sensors and actuators: The system senses the magnitude of direction and Angle through multiple sensors and actuators, ensuring precise control during reversing. These sensors can monitor the position and motion of the semi-trailer and adjust the direction and Angle in time to adapt to different reversing environments.
Auxiliary steering system: The auxiliary steering system of the ARC system is activated only when reversing, providing a maximum steering Angle of approximately 20 degrees, which gives the semi-trailer greater flexibility in narrow fields. This flexibility helps avoid collisions that can occur when operating in tight Spaces.
Reduced tire wear and fuel consumption: The ARC system indirectly improves safety by reducing additional tire and fuel consumption when turning at large angles and reversing. Because the tires are less worn, better tire condition is maintained, which helps to improve the handling and stability of the semi-trailer.
