<p>A parking braking system in a vehicle having EBS and which utilises the EBS primary means of generating the parking brake force via brake actuators, under the control of a manually operated electrical device, and wherein upon selecting parking braking by actuation of the electrical device, the brakes are arranged to be applied and mechanically locked or latched into place. A preferred embodiment uses a motor-driven wedge (54) which can be selectively brought into a position behind the operating shaft (103) of the brake actuator to hold the brake in a parking brake position when the brake actuation force has been removed.</p> |
