A method for controlling a compressed air supply device of a compressed air system of a utility vehicle. The compressed air supply device has a compressor, an air dryer unit and a regeneration valve device and being operated in an operating mode with delivery phases and regeneration phases. In the method, a current humidity, e.g. a relative or absolute humidity, is ascertained in the compressed air system, a current dew point depression (c-DPD) is ascertained from the ascertained humidity, a target dew point depression (t-DPD) is ascertained from current and/or projected ambient temperature data (T0, T(t)) and/or from current and/or projected vehicle operating data, and a target dew point depression (t-DPD) is subsequently ascertained from current and/or projected ambient temperature data (T0, T(t)) and compared with the current dew point depression (c-DPD). The operating mode and/or the regeneration phases are subsequently set and/or changed.

A brake fluid reservoir (1) comprising a receptacle (2), adapted to contain brake fluid, said receptacle (2) forming a bottom wall (3) and a perimetric wall (4), wherein the bottom wall (3) and the perimetric wall (4) define an inner compartment (5) for containing the brake fluid, wherein the perimetric wall (4) defines an inlet opening (6) opposite to the bottom wall (3) communicating with the inner compartment (5), and the bottom wall (3) defines an outlet opening (7) communicating with the inner compartment (5) and fluidically connectable to a braking system; a cap (8) configured to close the inlet opening (6); wherein the receptacle (2) defines an auxiliary opening (9), distinct from the inlet opening (6) and the outlet opening (7), communicating with the inner compartment (5); and wherein the reservoir (1) comprises a valve (10) positioned in the auxiliary opening (9), said valve (10) being configured to regulate a flow of brake fluid through the auxiliary opening (9).

A computer controlled brake that can selectively operate the 13 control portion exhaust magnet valve to couple the 13 pipe to atmosphere and the 20 control portion lead/trail magnet valve to pressurize the 20 pipe pressure of a trail locomotive in response to consist swap mode enabled while switching ends of a locomotive consist. The computer controlled brake is also configured to operate 13 control portion exhaust magnet valve to disconnect the source of 13 pipe pressure from atmosphere and to de-energize 20 control portion lead/trail magnet valve to stop pressurizing the source of 20 pipe pressure in response to sensing a rise in brake pipe from a newly established lead locomotive disabling consist swap mode.
