Zusammenfassung:A fluid brake system permitting a vehicle to remain in a stopped condition indefinitely includes a first fluid circuit by which fluid pressure is applicable to brake chambers of a first set of vehicle wheels, as well as a second fluid circuit by which fluid pressure is applicable to brake chambers of a second set of vehicle wheels. An electronic control unit or other such control device serves to repeatedly alternate fluid pressure application to the brake chambers of the first set of vehicle wheels, without fluid pressure application to the brake chambers of the second set of vehicle wheels, and fluid pressure application to the brake chambers of the second set of vehicle wheels, without fluid pressure application to the brake chambers of the first set of vehicle wheels.
