Abstract: A system for remote actuation of a parking brake upon a driver exit of a specially-equipped vehicle. The system includes a control module having a pressure-releasing valve which can be opened and closed between an air braking system and parking brake control button. Vehicles with a parking brake control button coupled to an air braking system engage a parking brake upon a drop in pressure of the system to a specified point. Upon a driver's exit of the vehicle, the control valve opens the pressure-releasing valve, causing the control valve to engage the vehicle parking brake. A remote actuation device configured to be with the driver of the vehicle and to indicate to the module when the driver exits the vehicle such that the module causes the air braking system to set the parking brake if not already set. A method of automatically engaging a vehicle parking brake.
