    摘要: A brake system, for a vehicle, includes a first electric-power-supply-unit (EPSU), and an electronic-brake-control-unit (EBCU) connected to the first EPSU. Furthermore, the brake system includes a first axle-pressure-modulator (APM) for service-brake-chambers associated with a first vehicle-axle. The first APM is connected to the EBCU. The brake system includes a second APM for spring-brake-cylinders associated with a second vehicle-axle. The second APM is connected to the EBCU. The brake system further includes a second EPSU, and an electronic-parking-brake-controller (EPBC). The EPBC is connected to the second EPSU. The EPBC is fluidically connected to the spring-brake-cylinders. The brake system includes a pressure modulator unit (PMU) fluidically connected to the first APM. The PMU is connected to the EPBC, which issues a control-signal for controlling the PMU. The PMU commands pneumatic-control-pressure for the first APM depending on the control-signal from the EPBC.

    摘要: A system for providing driverless operation of a utility vehicle in a limited area, including: a control module to output a valid autonomous control signal to an electropneumatic parking brake system and to control the utility vehicle in a driverless manner, wherein the utility vehicle allows an autonomous operating mode and includes the electropneumatic parking brake system which is configured to release the parking brake system when the valid autonomous control signal is present and to initiate automatic emergency braking when no valid autonomous control signal is applied; and a transfer module to transfer control of the utility vehicle from the driver to the control module. Also described are a related method and computer readable medium.

    摘要: A compressed air system for a motor vehicle with an air supply system, including: an electric drive motor, which can be controlled for variable speed, an air compressor coupled to be driven by the electric drive motor, an electric power supply for supplying electric power to the electric drive motor, at least one air reservoir connected with the air compressor to receive air from the air compressor, an air utilization system connected to the at least one air reservoir to receive air from the at least one air reservoir, a controller to control the speed of the electric drive motor. The controller controls the electric drive motor to determine the speed of the electric drive motor so that during filling of the air reservoir, when the pressure level in the air reservoir passes a setpoint that is between a minimum level and a higher cut off pressure level, the controller changes the compressor speed so that specific power consumption per unit mass of air compressed is decreased.
