  • Publication number: 20070255475
    Abstract: Method and an arrangement for controlling the driving brakes of a vehicle or a vehicle combination with at least two wheel axles, each axle having two or more wheels with tires. The arrangement includes a control unit (1, 21) for controlling the brakes and a signal generator for generating a signal proportional to the air pressure in one or several tires. The control unit (1, 21) is arranged, upon the reception of the signal, to detect an abnormal drop in pressure and to reduce the braking function for all the braking devices (6, 7; 8, 9; 26, 27; 28, 29) on the axle (10, 11; 30, 31) on which an abnormal drop in pressure has been detected in any one tire.
