    Abstract: A system for automatically parking a commercial vehicle comprises a service brake system having at least one braking valve, a braking controller for controlling the service brake system, and an advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) controller. The ADAS controller communicates with the braking controller and requests activation of the service brakes of the commercial vehicle until the vehicle is stationary. The braking controller, in response to the ADAS controller requesting activation of the service brakes, determines the commercial vehicle should remain stationary and activates at least one braking valve to exhaust system pressure to mechanically park the vehicle.

    Abstract: A brake wear sensing assembly (10) for an air disc brake includes a progressive wear sensor (12), at least one lining wear sensor (16a, 16b), a control device (56), a wire harness (36) connected to the control device (56) and an adapter for joining the progressive wear sensor (12) and the lining wear sensor (16a, 16b) to the wire harness (36). The adapter (20) connects a power line to the progressive wear sensor (12), a ground line to the progressive wear sensor (12) and an input to the output of the at least one lining wear sensor (16a, 16b). An output signal from the progressive wear sensor (12) is connected to the input of the at least one lining wear sensor (16a, 16b). The signal from the progressive wear sensor (12) passes through the at least one lining wear sensor (16A, 16B) to the control device (56) such that the progressive wear sensor (12) and the at least one lining wear sensor (16A, 16B) are in series with each other.

    Abstract: A brake actuator has a plurality of actuator housing portions, a parking piston axially displaceable within one of the actuator housing portions, and a service piston axially displaceable independently of the parking piston within another of the actuator housing portions. A brake actuator rod projecting from the other of the actuator housing portions moves outward of that actuator housing portion upon at least one of fluid supply to a first substantially torus-shaped service brake bladder and fluid relief from a second substantially torus-shaped parking brake bladder. The brake actuator rod can be moved inward into the other of the actuator housing portions upon fluid relief from the first substantially torus-shaped service brake bladder, and fluid supply to the second substantially torus-shaped parking brake bladder or both.

    Abstract: A drum brake assembly for use with a wheel end electric drive motor arrangement can generate brake dust, which may accumulate on the electric motor and cause heat retention problems that are detrimental to motor performance and longevity. These issues are addressed by providing an assembly including a support attachable to a vehicle axle element, brake shoes pivotally mountable on the support, and a wheel spindle interconnected with one end of the axle element. A perforated dust shield is attachable to the support on an axial side of the brake shoes opposite the fan rotor, such that, during vehicle operation, air drawn by blades on the fan rotor through openings in a wall of the brake drum carries debris out through perforations in the dust shield and away from the wheel end motor and brake assembly.

    Abstract: A trailer control valve comprises a valve electronic control port (120) adapted to receive an electronic control signal; a valve pneumatic supply port (112) unrestrictedly fluidly communicating with a first supply of a pneumatic fluid; a valve pneumatic control port (116) normally proportionally fluidly communicating with a second supply of the pneumatic fluid based on a pressure representing a driver brake demand, the first supply of the pneumatic fluid being in an independent pneumatic circuit from the second supply of the pneumatic fluid; and a valve delivery port (114) selectively fluidly communicating with at least one of the valve pneumatic supply port and the valve pneumatic control port based on the electronic control signal, the pressure representing the driver brake demand and a pressure of the first supply of the pneumatic fluid. A first pneumatic check valve (162) includes a first check valve supply port (164) fluidly communicating with the first supply of the pneumatic fluid; and a first check valve delivery port (166) fluidly communicating with the relay valve pneumatic supply port (154). The first pneumatic check valve controls the fluid communication of the first supply of the pneumatic fluid with the relay valve pneumatic supply port based on the pressure of the first supply of the pneumatic fluid at the valve pneumatic supply port.

    Abstract: A polygonal coupling couples torque source to a torque consumer such that input and output portions of the coupling may elastically rotate relative to one another during torque transfer to accommodate rotational speed variations in delivery of torque from the torque source. In an embodiment the torque source is an internal combustion engine with an integrated switchable coupling between the engine crankshaft and a torque transfer segment supporting a motor-generator. The polygonal coupling includes axially-overlapping polygonal-shaped male and female portions which cooperate to pass torque between the output of the integrated switchable coupling and an input of the torque transfer segment. At least one of the male and female portions includes recesses which form flexible arms adjacent to the lobes of the polygonal shape that allow the portions to rotate relative to one another over small angular displacements, and thereby improve damping of crankshaft rotational vibrations.

    Abstract: A system on a tractor for controlling trailer service brakes comprises a manually operated trailer brake switch, a first electropneumatic valve in communication with a pressure source and a controller. The controller has an input communicating with the trailer brake switch, an output communicating with the electropneumatic valve and control logic. The control logic receives an input from the trailer brake switch indicating a driver's request to apply the trailer service brakes of the combination vehicle, determines if a predetermined condition exists and transmits a signal to the output to the electropneumatic valve. The electropneumatic valve transmits pressure to a trailer service control line to actuate the trailer service brakes in response to the trailer brake switch and existence of the predetermined condition.
