  • valves are used to control the
  • the parking brake must be able to be engaged by the driver.
  • the driver In the event of a fault, the driver is required to bleed the spring-loaded brake cylinders and thus activate the parking brake by deliberately reducing the reservoir pressure in the brake circuit for the service brake.
  • the driver brakes the vehicle with the service brake, switches off the engine so that the compressed air supply is interrupted, and then actuates the service brake several times.
  • the brake circuit for the service brake is gradually vented.
  • the spring brake cylinders are also vented. The process described requires the attention and timely intervention of the driver.
  • the method according to the invention has the features of claim 1.
  • the service brake control unit brings about, under program control, a reduction in the reservoir pressure in at least one brake circuit for the service brake.
  • the defined conditions are stored in the program of the service brake control unit and can be adapted there to different conditions, for example by installing new software or by updating the same.
  • the spring-loaded brake cylinders are also vented as a result of the reduction in reservoir pressure in the brake circuit for the service brake.
  • the reservoir pressure is reduced to such an extent that the spring-loaded brakes are effective.
  • the procedure does not depend on the attention and intervention of the driver. The driver should only bring the vehicle to a standstill.
  • the service brake control unit brings about a reduction in the reservoir pressure in only one brake circuit for the service brake.
  • the reservoir pressure is maintained in brake circuits on other axles. It is then possible to pressurize the spring brake cylinder again more quickly.
  • the service brake can also continue to be used.

  • the reservoir pressure is lowered in a brake circuit for a front axle.
  • the service brake control unit brings about a reduction in the reservoir pressure in all brake circuits for the service brake. This ensures that the spring brake cylinders are vented to a particularly high degree.
  • the service brake control unit brings about a reduction in the reservoir pressure in at least one brake circuit for the service brake after at least one of the following conditions occurs: a) the service brake control unit detects a fault in the parking brake system, b) due to defined boundary conditions, c) after actuation of a separate control element, d) after actuation of a brake pedal for the service brake in combination with a detected fault in the parking brake system, e) due to a dedicated signal from an additional electronic control unit.
  • the detection of a fault in the parking brake system can result from a wide variety of events.
  • the defined boundary conditions under which the reservoir pressure in the brake circuit for the service brake is lowered can also be of many kinds.
  • a separate control element can be provided in the vehicle/driver's cab as a separate control element, which must also be actuated, for example after a program-controlled warning signal has been emitted and/or a program-controlled reduction in vehicle speed to a standstill.
  • the detection of the fault in the parking brake system can also be combined with the actuation of a brake pedal for the service brake as the triggering condition for the reduction in the reservoir pressure in the brake circuit for the service brake.
  • the reservoir pressure in the brake circuit for the service brake can also be lowered on the basis of the dedicated signal from an additional electronic control unit.
  • At the control unit It can be an electronic control unit of the braking system or external to the braking system.

Accordingly, the service brake control unit can expect a signal. If this does not happen, the service brake control unit determines that there is a fault in the parking brake system. Signals can also fail if a connected CAN bus no longer transmits any signals. In particular, there is then a so-called CAN timeout.
  • a virtual driver is intended here to be a program-controlled automation that takes over part or all of the control of vehicle functions, corresponding to automation levels 2 to 5.

  • the reservoir pressure in the brake circuit is lowered by the particular multiple actuation of the service brake, ie preferably by multiple pressurizing and venting of brake cylinders of the service brake.
  • the reservoir pressure in at least one of the brake circuits for the service brake is lowered by venting via a valve for controlling a blocking prevention.
  • a valve for controlling a blocking prevention It is preferably a so-called ABS solenoid valve, via which the brake pressure in the brake cylinders of the service brake can be reduced.
  • Such valves can also be integrated into a so-called axle modulator.
  • the nominal size is advantageously 8-12 mm, 9-11 mm or 10 mm and refers in particular to vent outlets of the valves. It is preferably the valves already mentioned for controlling the blocking prevention, in particular on a front axle of the vehicle.

  • At least part of the service brake system is or is still activated for braking, and that the service brake system is then vented via at least one valve in order to reduce the reservoir pressure in at least one of the brake circuits for the service brake, and in doing so At least one other valve holds back a brake pressure in at least one service brake cylinder, so that this brake cylinder is not vented. This means that the vehicle can be held securely even if the spring-loaded brakes are not yet effective.
  • the brake pressure is retained in the service brake cylinder by targeted activation of the aforementioned ABS valve.
  • the brake pressure is preferably held back in all the service brake cylinders of an axle or axle group, while the service brake cylinders of another axle are vented.
  • it is customary and mandatory to divide the brake circuit for the service brake into two or more sub-brake circuits, at least with one sub-brake circuit for the front axle and another sub-brake circuit for the rear axle.

  • the brake pressure is preferably held back in all service brake cylinders of the rear axle.
  • the reservoir pressure in at least one of the brake circuits for the service brake is reduced in a pulsed manner, namely by alternating pressurization and venting of service brake cylinders.
  • the service brake cylinders are pressurized and vented alternately by actuating corresponding inlet valves and outlet valves.
  • the reservoir pressure is reduced continuously in at least one of the brake circuits for the service brake. This embodiment is particularly advantageous since the vehicle standstill is better safeguarded by a permanent braking effect while the reservoir pressure is being reduced.
  • the service brake control unit in conjunction with an actuation of the brake pedal for the service brake can be used to vent a brake circuit for the parking brake if the electronic braking system detects that the vehicle is stationary or a fault in the parking brake system is detected and the brake pedal for the service brake is fully actuated for a defined minimum period of time.

If there is only one brake circuit, the venting takes place within this brake circuit.
  • the parking brake system can have a relay valve with pilot control unit and check valve for electropneumatic actuation of the parking brake, with an input of the pilot control unit being connected to an input of the relay valve via the check valve. This ensures the desired ventilation.
