  • Patent number: 11738733
    Abstract: An actuating arrangement (1) for a parking brake of a motor vehicle, having a first actuating unit (5), for manual actuation of the parking brake, and a shaft (2) for transmitting braking forces (F1, F2) to at least one wheel brake cylinder (4) of a service brake of the motor vehicle. The first actuating unit (5) is operatively connected to the shaft (2) so that, when the first actuating unit (5) is actuated, a first braking force (F1) is transmitted via the shaft (2) to the at least one wheel brake cylinder (4). The actuating arrangement (1) has a second actuating unit (7) for the controllable actuation of the parking brake. The second actuating unit (7) is operatively connected to the shaft (2) so that, when the second actuating unit (7) is actuated, a second braking force (F2) is transmitted via the shaft (2) to the wheel brake cylinder (5).

  • Patent number: 10948032
    Abstract: A method for operating an automated drive train of a motor vehicle in which, upon actuation of a service brake up to a standstill of the vehicle, a drive connection between the drive machine and at least one drive axle of the vehicle is automatically disengaged by disengaging a clutch. During release of the service brake, the drive connection is automatically engaged by engaging the clutch. Based on a selected gear step, a desired drive direction of the vehicle is determined, and, during the release of the service brake, is compared with an actual drive direction. If the desired drive direction matches the actual drive direction, the pressure in the clutch is increased according to a first modulation characteristic curve. However, if the desired drive direction is different from the actual drive direction, the pressure in the clutch is increased according to a second modulation characteristic curve.

  • Publication number: 20200288625
    Abstract: An agricultural work vehicle. The agricultural work vehicle includes a track guidance system. The track guidance system includes an optical image-capture device arranged on the work vehicle and being configured to record reference objects located along a track driven by the agricultural work vehicle. The track guidance system further includes an image processing system configured to differentiate the recorded reference objects, and a control device configured to evaluate the reference object and prespecify a track based, at least in part, on the evaluation of the reference objects.
