PARKING BRAKE IN A VEHICLE

摘要

A parking brake in a vehicle has one wheel-brake unit on each of two vehicle wheels, each having one DC brake motor for generating a clamping force which holds the vehicle at a standstill. The electric brake motors are controllable via a control unit, each brake motor being assigned one H-bridge and the H-bridges being interconnected in such a way that one shared half-bridge branch having switches for controlling both brake motors is formed.
