20100174451 | Method and Device for Determining Overrun Conditions of a Vehicle - A method and a device are provided for determining an overrun condition of a vehicle, in particular a commercial vehicle, including a control unit that determines the overrun condition. The control unit is suitable for determining a probable occurrence of at least one overrun condition, at least in accordance with altitude or height profile data of a route that is and/or will be traveled by the vehicle. A navigation system, that is suitable for determining at least height profile data of a route that is traveled or will be traveled by a vehicle, is used in order to allow the determination of a probable occurrence of at least one overrun condition of the vehicle in accordance with the height profile data. Synchronization of an air supply operation during the overrun condition is hence possible. | 07-08-2010 |
20100174452 | Control Device for a Compressed Air System of a Vehicle - A control device for a compressed air system of a vehicle or for a component of a compressed air system of a vehicle includes at least one processor calculating a prediction of the occurrence and/or duration of overrun condition phases of the vehicle based on altitude position data of a route traveled by or still to be traveled by the vehicle. The control device controls the compressed air system, a component of the compressed air system, or a component intended to operate the compressed air system, based on the calculated prediction. | 07-08-2010 |
20100179726 | Apparatus and Method for Identifying in Advance Overrun Phases of a Vehicle - A device is provided for identifying overrun phases of a vehicle in advance. The device includes at least one processing unit, which processes altitude position data of a route that is traveled by a vehicle or will be traveled by a vehicle and calculates a prediction of the probable occurrence of future overrun phases of the vehicle, taking into consideration the altitude position data. | 07-15-2010 |
20140060667 | Compressed Air Supply Device for Commercial Vehicles - A compressed air supply device for a commercial vehicle is electrically connected to an electronic control device. The compressed air supply device includes a control valve which is actuated via the control device. The control valve has an inlet, vent and outlet connections. A control line, which is connected to the outlet of the control valve, is connected to a control inlet of a compressor and/or, for regeneration, to an air filter. A supply line can supply compressed air to the control valve inlet. A venting line connects to the control valve vent. A backup valve is provided, wherein an inlet of the backup valve is connected to the supply line and an outlet can be connected to the venting line. The backup valve opens pneumatically when a pressure which corresponds to or exceeds a predetermined opening pressure is present in the supply line. | 03-06-2014 |
