Abstract
An apparatus for controlling a traction of a vehicle, in which the vehicle includes a parking brake system with a spring-loaded brake cylinder operable to release the parking brake against a spring force using pressurized air and the parking brake system is configured to brake one or more driven wheels of the vehicle. The apparatus includes a data interface module and a braking control module. The data interface module is configured to receive input information depending on a wheel slip of the one or more wheels of the vehicle. The braking control module is configured to determine the wheel slip based on the received information and to control the parking brake system to keep the wheel slip below a threshold value, thereby controlling the traction of the vehicle.

1-14. (canceled)
An apparatus for controlling a traction of a vehicle, comprising:
- a data interface module to receive input information depending on a wheel slip of one or more wheels of the vehicle, wherein the vehicle includes a parking brake system with a spring-loaded brake cylinder operable to release the parking brake against a spring force using pressurized air, the parking brake system being configured to brake one or more driven wheels of the vehicle;
- and
- a braking control module to determine the wheel slip based on the received information and to control the parking brake system to keep the wheel slip below a threshold value, so as to control the traction of the vehicle.
A vehicle, comprising:
- a parking brake system with a spring-loaded brake cylinder operable to release the parking brake against a spring force using pressurized air, the parking brake system being configured to brake one or more driven wheels of the vehicle;
- and
- an apparatus for controlling a traction, including:
- a data interface module to receive input information depending on a wheel slip of one or more wheels of the vehicle;
- and
- a braking control module to determine the wheel slip based on the received information and to control the parking brake system to keep the wheel slip below a threshold value, so as to control the traction of the vehicle.
A method for controlling a traction of a vehicle, the method comprising:
- receiving input information depending on a wheel slip of the one or more wheels of the vehicle, wherein the vehicle includes a parking brake system with a spring-loaded brake cylinder operable to release the parking brake against a spring force using pressurized air, the parking brake system being configured to brake one or more driven wheels of the vehicle;
- determining the wheel slip based on the received information;
- and
- controlling the parking brake system to keep the wheel slip below a threshold value, thereby controlling the traction of the vehicle.
A non-transitory computer readable medium having a computer program, which is executable by a processor, comprising:
- a program code arrangement having a program code for controlling a traction of a vehicle, by performing the following:
- receiving input information depending on a wheel slip of the one or more wheels of the vehicle, wherein the vehicle includes a parking brake system with a spring-loaded brake cylinder operable to release the parking brake against a spring force using pressurized air, the parking brake system being configured to brake one or more driven wheels of the vehicle;
- determining the wheel slip based on the received information;
- and
- controlling the parking brake system to keep the wheel slip below a threshold value, thereby controlling the traction of the vehicle.
