Disclosed is a method for controlling brakes in a trailer vehicle comprising a pneumatic brake system, service brakes and an electronic brake system with anti-lock control, wherein at least one axle of the trailer vehicle is fitted with spring-loaded brakes and revolution rate sensors. The method comprises: monitoring with the electronic brake system whether there is a braking demand, monitoring with the electronic brake system whether at least one wheel of at least one axle is locking up, and if there is no braking demand and at least one wheel of the at least one axle is locked while traveling, controlling the pneumatic braking system with the electronic brake system to pressurize the spring-loaded brakes and to brake the trailer vehicle by the service brakes automatically and with anti-lock control. A valve arrangement is also disclosed.

The present invention relates to a device and a method for braking, and a vehicle comprising the same. The present invention has an effect of easily releasing a braking force of a parking brake by switching between a first state, in which first and second lines of a service brake are connected and first and second lines of the parking brake are connected, and a second state, in which the first line of the service brake and the second line of the parking brake are connected.

A spring-type brake cylinder that includes a compression spring, a pressure chamber, a dividing wall disposed between the compression spring and the pressure chamber, a piston having an inner wall and a bottom, and a nut disposed inside the piston and configured to be held on a release bolt. A support structure is disposed inside the piston and configured to abut against the nut while the release bolt is screwed into the nut. The piston comprises a first retaining structure and a second retaining structure, the first retaining structure configured to hold the support structure in an assembly position and the second retaining structure configured to hold the support structure in a drive position. The support structure is moveable from the assembly position to the drive position by a movement of the nut relative to the piston.

In a method for warning a vehicle driver of a risk of the vehicle overturning about its longitudinal axis, a control device detects the current transverse acceleration of the vehicle and emits a warning signal based thereon when a risk of overturning is presented. The warning signal is dependent upon at least one transverse acceleration value, which is critical for overturning, detected by the control device while the vehicle is being driven, and a measurement of the transverse acceleration of the vehicle at which the vehicle would actually overturn about its longitudinal axis. The transverse acceleration value that is critical for overturning is determined automatically based on the vehicle behavior exhibited during driving on a curve.
