2 Introduction
Monitoring a wide range of trailer functions is important when trying to improve the
performance of haulage companies operations and reducing the costs of the vehi-
cle fleet.
By integrating a number of control and indicator devices in a single, easy-to-handle
multifunctional system, the SmartBoard helps to make trailer vehicles safer and
more effective.
fig. 2-1: SmartBoard
The SmartBoard combines the following functions:
• Display of distance driven (operates without power supply from the towing vehi-
cle)
• Immobilizer operation
• Brake lining wear indicator (in connection with WABCO BVA)
• Current axle load indicator
• Tyre pressure indicator (in connection with WABCO IVTM)
• Display of diagnostics and system messages
• Information on the operation of the electronic air suspension (in connection with
Trailer EBS E)
• Information on the operation of the lifting axle(s)
• Operating the relaxation function
• Operating the brake release function
• Operating the road finisher brake
• Indication of the vehicle inclination
• Operation of the freely configurable GIO functions
• Display of selected operating data (ODR) and the measured values of the brak-
ing system
It therefore serves as a universal information and control system for implementing
efficient trailer vehicle operation.
A SmartBoard can be used to replace the following separate display and control
units:
• Odometer Status
• Brake lining indicator
• Lifting axle and traction help switch
• Axle load indication
• ECAS control box and/or unit
• Relaxation function
• Brake release function
• Road Finisher Brake
