Abstract
A system for automatically parking a commercial vehicle comprises a service brake system having at least one braking valve, a braking controller for controlling the service brake system, and an advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) controller. The ADAS controller communicates with the braking controller and requests activation of the service brakes of the commercial vehicle until the vehicle is stationary. The braking controller, in response to the ADAS controller requesting activation of the service brakes, determines the commercial vehicle should remain stationary and activates at least one braking valve to exhaust system pressure to mechanically park the vehicle.

A system for automatically parking a commercial vehicle comprising:
- a service brake system having at least one braking valve;
- a braking controller for controlling the service brake system;
- and
- an advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) controller, communicating with the braking controller;
- wherein the ADAS controller requests activation of the service brakes of the commercial vehicle until the vehicle is stationary and the braking controller, in response to the ADAS controller requesting activation of the service brakes, determines the commercial vehicle should remain stationary and activates the at least one braking valve to exhaust system pressure to mechanically park the vehicle.
A method for automated parking of a commercial vehicle comprising transmitting a message from an advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) controller to a braking controller requesting activation of service brakes until the commercial vehicle is stationary;
- determining that the commercial vehicle should remain stationary;
- and
- activating a braking valve to exhaust the parking brake actuator to mechanically park the commercial vehicle.
