A valve module is provided for enabling a vehicle to control an autonomous event of the vehicle. The valve module comprises a relay valve, a first solenoid valve, and a second solenoid valve. A first control pressure can be delivered through the first solenoid valve and applied to a control port of the relay valve. In one embodiment, a second control pressure can be delivered through the second solenoid valve and combined with the first control pressure. The combined first and second control pressures are applied to the control port of the relay valve.

A valve assembly including a housing and a first movable member which divides the housing into a control chamber and a main chamber. A second movable member has a first valve part and a second valve part and is movable to engage the first valve part with a corresponding inlet valve part to substantially prevent flow of fluid into the main chamber via an inlet port. The first movable member is provided with an exhaust valve part and is movable to engage the second valve part of the second movable member to substantially prevent flow of pressurized fluid out of the main chamber via an exhaust port. A support part is secured relative to the housing, there being a first seal between the second movable member and the support part and a second seal between the support part and the first movable member.

A valve apparatus 1 for a pressure-actuated system has a pressure medium input 7 and a pressure medium output 22. A relay valve 8 controls the pressure medium input 7. A pressure-actuatable inlet valve 23 is arranged between the relay valve 8 and the pressure medium output 22. Each pressure medium output 22 includes a pressure-actuatable outlet valve 28 controlling a fluidic connection of the pressure medium output 22 to a purge 16 leading to atmosphere. At least one outlet valve 28 or inlet valve 23 is formed as a diaphragm valve and has a valve diaphragm 29 which lies on a valve seat 30 and opens against the pressure in a purge chamber 31. For each diaphragm valve, an electrically actuatable purge valve 33 controls a fluidic connection of the purge chamber 31 to a purge line controlling the relay valve 8.

A control valve device for a highly available pneumatic brake system for a rail vehicle, having a compressed-air inlet which is or can be connected to an outlet of a discharge valve device; a compressed-air outlet which is or can be connected to a relay valve device; and a safety input which is or can be connected to a compressed-air source; wherein the control valve device fluidically connects the safety inlet to the compressed-air outlet in a first switching position and fluidically connects the compressed-air inlet to the compressed-air outlet in a second switching position; wherein the control valve device can modify the inlet pressure in the second switching position in accordance with a control device, in order to provide the outlet pressure.

A system for controlling a wheel brake on an auxiliary axle of a vehicle includes an electro-pneumatic drive axle brake control valve that deliver fluid pressure from a fluid source to a drive axle wheel brake on a drive axle of the vehicle responsive to an electronic control signal. An auxiliary axle brake control valve delivers fluid pressure from the electro-pneumatic drive axle brake control valve to an auxiliary axle wheel brake on the auxiliary axle of the vehicle responsive to a fluid pressure control signal. A fluid control signal generating valve generates the fluid pressure control signal responsive to a command to apply a steer axle wheel brake on a steer axle of the vehicle.

A brake system for a motor vehicle, particularly a commercial vehicle, includes at least one electronic control unit, at least one parking brake device, and at least one wheel-blocking detection device. The wheel-blocking detection device is configured to: detect at least one blocking condition of one or more wheels of the motor vehicle, generate at least one blocking condition signal in response to the detected blocking condition, and transmit the blocking condition signal to the electronic control unit. The electronic control unit is configured to control the parking brake device such that, in a moving condition of the motor vehicle, at least one gradual actuation of the parking brake device is reduced or stopped if the blocking condition signal is generated.
