  • Patent number: 11325575
    Abstract: A brake valve for a compressed air brake system of a utility vehicle includes a compressed air input configured to connect to a system pressure, a compressed air output configured to connect a brake control line, and at least one sensor configured to determine a brake valve actuation travel of an actuating element of the brake valve with a working interconnection to the brake pedal. The brake valve further includes a characteristic curve memory storing two stored characteristic curves and/or dependences and at least one determination device. The brake valve is configured to output at least two useful sensor signals, a first of which represents a brake valve output pressure and a second of which represents a percentage actuation position of the actuating element. The at least one sensor is configured to generate an actuating signal depending on the brake valve actuation travel of the actuating element.
