Abstract

An air brake system for a vehicle having front service and parking brakes, and rear service and parking brakes, includes separate front service, rear service and parking air systems. In the event of a failure in either service air system, normal operation of the service brake control will automatically operate the parking brakes associated with the failed service brakes.
