The present disclosure relates to a motor driving circuit of an electronic parking brake system, which is configured to include a first motor and a second motor for releasing or applying a parking brake applied to different wheels, respectively; and a first ECU and a second ECU for controlling the driving of the first motor and the second motor, respectively, wherein the second ECU is prevented from intervening in the driving of the first motor and the second motor while the first ECU drives the first motor and the second motor, and controls the driving of the first motor and the second motor only when there is an abnormality in the first ECU.

The invention concerns a method for utilizing a park brake system to improve the deceleration of a vehicle in the event of failure of the service brake system, the service brake system comprising a brake pedal (2) and at least one air supply circuit (40, 42, 44), the method including the steps of a) measuring the pressure in the air supply circuit, in particular in an air tank (40, 42) of the air supply circuit, and b) when the pressure in the air supply circuit falls below a certain value, switching the park brake system from a normal mode, wherein the park brake system is released, to an assistance mode. In the assistance mode, the park brake system assists the service brake system only if the brake pedal (2) is depressed until reaching a threshold position different from a rest position.

An actuator for a wheel brake unit of a vehicle is disclosed, wherein the actuator has an actuation element for performing an actuation, and is configured to receive, through a power supply, a power for performing the actuation. The actuator is characterized by a detection unit, configured to receive a control signal and to detect a power shortage indicative of an emergency situation, and to generate an emergency signal if the control signal is received or if the power shortage is detected, as well as by a backup energy storage, configured to store energy sufficient for causing the actuation element to perform a complete brake actuation at least once and, upon receiving the emergency signal, to provide at least a part of the energy needed by the actuation element to perform the actuation.

Systems and methods for a power machine can provide greater functionality and operator comfort. A climate control system for a power machine can include a condenser, mounted on a front frame member of the power machine. Paths for air flow to cool an engine compartment can extend along airflow passages though a fuel tank. Secondary braking systems can allow a power machine to be stopped with modulated fashion when a primary power source is unavailable. Rear-view vision systems can include a camera mounted on a front pivoting frame (e.g., near the top of an operator station) to provide improved environmental information to an operator. A tilt actuator of the power machine can be configured to operate in a float mode.

A vehicle braking calibration system and related method includes a valve fluidly coupled with a vehicle braking system of a vehicle. The valve is configured to move between an open position and a closed position to control an amount of a fluid that is directed out of the braking system. A sensor detects one or more characteristics of the fluid that is directed out of the braking system. A controller determines a state of the braking system based on the one or more characteristics of the fluid.

An automobile electronic parking execution controller with a double-MCU redundancy design comprises a parking switch circuit, a biaxial acceleration sensor unit, a main micro control unit (MCU) U2 and a monitoring MCU U1, wherein the main MCU U2 controls a parking motor by means of detecting signals of the parking switch circuit and the biaxial acceleration sensor, the monitoring MCU U1 monitors a running state of a whole control system and restores the main MCU U2 when the main MCU U2 is abnormal, and the main MCU U2 restores the monitoring MCU U1 when the monitoring MCU U1 is abnormal. After the main MCU U2 crashes, the main MCU U2 can still be quickly stored through the monitoring MCU U1, so that the main MCU U2 quickly enters a response state to recover the parking brake control ability, which improves the safety of the system.
