The disclosure relates to a method for securing a vehicle, preferably a commercial vehicle, in an emergency braking situation, wherein the vehicle has a vehicle bus system and a braking system, the method having the following steps: monitoring signals on the vehicle bus system; detecting an emergency brake signal provided by a driver assistance system on the vehicle bus system; ascertaining whether the vehicle is at a standstill; bringing a braking device of the braking system into a braking position if a standstill of the vehicle is ascertained. The disclosure also relates to a control unit for a vehicle, a computer program, a braking system for a vehicle, and a vehicle.

Method for securing a vehicle

An electropneumatic brake system, for a commercial vehicle which is provided for pulling a trailer, includes at least one service brake circuit configured to activate service brake actuators, a parking brake circuit having parking brake actuators on at least one axle, a trailer brake circuit configured to provide a trailer brake pressure at a trailer brake pressure port, and a manually actuatable operating unit in a driver's cab. The manually actuatable operating unit has a first operating element and a second operating element. In the case of actuation of the first operating element when the vehicle is driving, the parking brake actuators are activated and a trailer brake pressure is output at the trailer brake pressure port. In the case of actuation of the second operating element when the vehicle is driving, only a trailer brake pressure is output.

Electropneumatic handbrake system for commercial vehicles with spring-loaded parking brakes

An electropneumatic parking brake system for a utility vehicle includes a pilot module configured to control at least a first control pressure. The pilot module has a pilot store connection configured to receive a store pressure from a compressed air device and at least one pilot valve combination. The electropneumatic parking brake system further includes at least one manually actuatable piston valve connected to a valve store connection and having a parking brake connection. The parking brake connection is ventilated in a first switching position of the piston valve and a parking brake pressure at the parking brake connection is controllable in a second switching position of the piston valve. The piston valve has a first pneumatic control connection at which the first control pressure is configured to be controlled in order to pneumatically switch the piston valve.
