A driver assistance system in a motor vehicle includes an electronically controllable braking system and a control unit assigned to this braking system and connected with an operating element also assigned to the braking system. The operating element, when correspondingly actuated, can initiate an automatic braking function in the form of a normal braking by use of the electronically controllable braking system independently of the actuation of the brake pedal. The control unit is operatively configured such that, when the operating element is continuously actuated beyond a predefined minimum duration, an emergency braking function can be initiated.

Driver assistance system in a motor vehicle

The invention relates to a brake system for a railway vehicle. Said brake system comprises a main air reservoir line which is fed by an air compressor unit. Every bogie truck is provided with at least one compressed-air line which is connected to the main air reservoir line either directly or via a stop valve, a non-return valve and a compressed-air reservoir. The compressed-air line feeds, for example, the service brake valves for impinging the brakes of the bogie truck or a control unit for the spring-loaded brake and/or other control units for other auxiliary components. The service brake valves and/or the spring-loaded brake and/or other auxiliary components are controlled via at least one local, electronic brake control unit.
