Abstract
Because the small trailers do not have the main brake system, it is difficult to gain the effective braking performance of the trailers while driving them. Especially it is very hard to brake them on the slope road condition. So we have technically developed Inertia Braking System for the military trailers which have not main braking system. Inertia Braking System is designed to be activated by the inertia force of trailer. It consists of the brake rod, damping cylinder, hand brake lever and brake cables. We have tested the trailer's braking performance. As a result, we have showed that the trailer's braking performance of the trailer equipped with Inertia Braking System, the road driving performance and the braking safety capability are improved dramatically. And we hope that it is rare to happen the accident while driving.
