:Instrumented anchor pins developed through Phase II research efforts can be used to indicate force, regulate brake pressure, provide early warning of degraded performance or input to another control system. Successful development and integration of instrumented anchor pins into a comprehensive air brake systems will provide trucks the ability of equalized braking, wheel speed adjustment, and brake system overall status.
