Abstract

Un appareil de rallonge de cabine réglable (200) adapté pour être couplé à un véhicule (100) comprenant un tracteur (102) couplé à une remorque (104) est prévu. L'ensemble comprend un appareil de rallonge de cabine dynamique (206) réglable en longueur et pouvant être actionné de manière à être disposé dans une fente (106) allant du tracteur à la remorque. L'ensemble comprend un capteur de vitesse (268) utilisable pour détecter une vitesse du véhicule. L'ensemble comprend également un système de commande (208) couplé en communication de signal avec le capteur de vitesse et couplé à l'appareil de rallonge de cabine dynamique. Le système de commande est utilisable pour ajuster automatiquement une longueur longitudinale de l'appareil de rallonge de cabine dynamique pour régler sélectivement une proximité d'un bord de fuite de l'appareil de rallonge de cabine dynamique par rapport à une extrémité avant de la remorque lorsque la vitesse détectée dépasse une vitesse sélectionnée. Le système de commande peut également placer l'appareil de rallonge de cabine dynamique dans une position de rangement.
