Abstract
A method and an arrangement for ensuring the standstill of a vehicle, especially in combination with a control of the speed of the vehicle, are suggested, wherein a braking force is built up to realize a parking brake when standstill of the vehicle is detected and/or a transmission is switched into the park position. The brake force or the transmission position is also maintained when the supply voltage for the electrical systems of the vehicle is switched off.
