CA 2402023

The present invention is a safety-enhancing automatic brake control system that automatically applies and maintains the brakes in the applied state, in response to sensors at various stations around/in the vehicle or equipment that signal an invented controller when conditions exist that make vehicle movement potentially dangerous. The controller validates the signals and then actuates a mechanism that manages the air, brake fluid, or mechanical brake linkage/cable that applies the brakes. The control system preferably includes a vehicle motion override system that prevents automatic application of the brakes if the vehicle is in motion above a set speed, and a manual brake-releasing override that allows a driver to override the controller temporarily at the driver's discretion.

La présente invention concerne un système de commande de freinage automatique perfectionné sur le plan de la sécurité, ledit système permettant d'appliquer automatiquement et de maintenir les freins serrés, en réponse aux détecteurs situés à divers emplacements autour et à l'intérieur du véhicule ou au matériel signalant une unité de commande, lorsqu'il existe des conditions qui pourraient rendre le déplacement du véhicule potentiellement dangereux. L'unité de commande valide les signaux et actionne alors un mécanisme qui gère l'air, le liquide de freinage, ou un câble/une timonerie de freins mécanique qui applique les freins. Le système de commande comprend, de préférence, un système de neutralisation du déplacement du véhicule qui empêche l'application automatique des freins, si le véhicule se déplace à une vitesse supérieure à celle préfixée, et un système manuel de desserrage des freins qui permet au conducteur de neutraliser temporairement l'unité de commande, s'il le souhaite.
