- This paper presents a Trailer-Tractor Disengage Alarm System (TTDAS) designed to enhance safety in electrical connections between the tractor and trailer of commercial vehicles. The proposed system addresses the critical issue of unintentional disengagement of electrical connections, which can lead to hazardous situations on the road. The system employs sensor technologies and intelligent algorithms to continuously monitor the status of the electrical connection between the tractor and trailer. In the event of a disconnection, the system activates a robust alarm mechanism to promptly notify the driver, mitigating the risk of accidents and ensuring the safety of both the vehicle and other road users. Key features of the Trailer Disengage Confirmation Alarm System include real-time monitoring, rapid response time, and compatibility with various trailer configurations. The paper details the system architecture, including the integration of sensors, control units, and the alarm mechanism. Additionally, it explores the algorithmic logic employed to accurately detect disengagements while minimizing false positives.
