Abstract
The present invention pertains to a brake system for a vehicle, in particular a wheeled vehicle, comprising a control unit configured to operate the brake system in an automatic retarding control mode and in a brake assist mode, a brake pedal valve, and at least one brake valve unit for actuating a brake actuator. The break valve unit comprises a brake valve for applying pressurized fluid to the brake actuator in response to a control pressure applied to a hydraulic actuator of the brake valve, a blocking valve for controlling application of pressurized fluid from the brake pedal valve to the hydraulic actuator of the brake valve, and a brake pressure control valve for controlling application of pressurized fluid to the hydraulic actuator of the brake valve.
