  • Method and device for detecting residual pressure in a braking system in particular in a braking cylinder
    Patent number: 7204567
    Abstract: According to the invention, the existence of residual pressure in the braking system is determined by means of continuous rough monitoring of the pressure in said system. If the existence of said residual pressure is established, then a fine monitoring process is carried out several times, whereby a pressure relieving body in the braking system is opened and sensed in order to determine whether the actual pressure is decreasing and if so to what extent.

  • Method and apparatus for controlling the brake system of a vehicle
    Patent number: 6062658
    Abstract: In a vehicle having a duty brake and a sustained-action brake (retarder), the actual braking moment produced by the sustained-action brake, as well as the braking command of the driver, are taken into consideration in the electrically controlled adjustment of the duty brake.
