Methods and system for verifying a brake system in a vehicle

摘要

A method for checking sets of components of a vehicle includes configuring a system control unit of a vehicle to perform a check of a first set of components and a second set of components of the vehicle, the first set of components being different from the second set of components. The first set of components is automatically checked using the system control unit. The second set of components is optionally checked using the system control unit, wherein the control unit is configured to disable the check of the second set of components based upon a disable command provided to the control system. Further, a system for verifying different sets of components and a further method for checking sets of components of a vehicle are described.

1. A method for checking sets of components of a vehicle, the method comprising:
configuring a system control unit of a vehicle to perform a check of a first set of components and a second set of components of the vehicle, the first set of components being different from the second set of components; automatically checking the first set of components using the system control unit; and automatically checking the second set of components using the system control unit, wherein the system control unit is configured to perform a check of the second set of components automatically unless the check is disabled based upon a disable command provided to the system control unit, wherein the second set of components comprises at least one service brake device of the vehicle, wherein the checking of the at least one service brake device comprises: predetermining a threshold value for a speed of a traction motor; applying the at least one service brake device to the traction motor; applying a predetermined force (torque) by the traction motor against the at least one service brake device; and monitoring the speed of the traction motor while the predetermined force (torque) is applied.
