Abstract:

The basic building blocks of a conventional retarder control system are described from a generic-functional viewpoint. The central function of a retarder system is “speed control management” which takes inputs from the following functions: weight determination, rollability prediction, weather modification, distance-to-couple measurement, and operator override to give instructions to the master and group retarder control functions.
