Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	In one aspect the invention relates to a safety park brake system (100) of a vehicle. The safety system comprises a pneumatic park brake (102), a park brake electronic unit (104), a controller (106), an air brake sub-system (108) in air communication with the pneumatic park brake, and a compressor (110). The compressor is configured to provide pressurized air to the air brake sub-system through a discharge line (112) arranged between the compressor and the air brake sub-system. The controller is configured to receive a park brake request, detect an error associated with a failure in the park brake electronic unit, and impede inflow of pressurized air into the air brake sub-system. The safety park-brake system is configured to control discharge of air from the air brake sub-system to thereby achieve a drop in air pressure. The pneumatic park brake is configured to automatically apply once the air pressure in the air brake sub-system drops below a predetermined threshold.In a second aspect the invention relates to a method (200) of activating a pneumatic park brake of a vehicle.
