(b)The department may by regulation authorize the use of special devices or systems to automatically reduce the maximum air pressure delivered to the brake chambers in order to compensate for load variation
and to obtain balanced braking. Permitted systems shall be of the fail safe type and shall not increase the vehicle stopping distance.
