3 TailGUARD™
3.1 TailGUARD™ for trailers
TailGUARD™ was initially developed for trailer vehicles fitted with an EBS braking system and used on the
trailer. Incidentally, this explains why the trailers use EBS E diagnostic software for diagnosing and configuring all
TailGUARD™ systems and putting them into operation, even where TailGUARD™ is installed in the towing vehicle
or bus. The diagnostic software automatically detects this when the system starts up and switches to the appropriate
mode.
Two different systems are available with TailGUARD™ for trailer vehicles:
„
With TailGUARDlight™, two ultrasonic sensors are used to measure the actual distance to the loading ramp. The
system does not monitor the entire area behind the vehicle, but is only an aid for approaching the ramp.
„
The other three TailGUARD™ variants are systems for monitoring the area behind the vehicle. WABCO
recommends a minimum system of three sensors on the same level (the variant TailGUARD™). With the
TailGUARD
ROOF
™ variant, for example, a roof over the ramp can be detected by two extra ultrasonic sensors
mounted on an additional upper level. A rear area monitoring system can be realised with the aid of six ultrasonic
sensors on two levels (TailGUARDMAX™) which is also capable of detecting smaller objects behind the vehicle.
The most detailed description of TailGUARD™ for trailer vehicles can be found in the TEBS E system description. You
can download the latest version in WABCO INFORM under the product number 815 010 093 3.
3.2 TailGUARD™ for Truck & Bus
With TailGUARD™ for towing vehicles and buses, the same sensor is used for the trailer vehicles which is used to
monitor the area behind the vehicle. The most significant difference concerns how the system is integrated in the
vehicle electrical system, and how an automatic braking action is realised when the configured minimum distance to
an obstacle is reached.
Here, TailGUARD™ for Truck & Bus supports various possibilities, which are concisely explained in this description.
