ABSTRACT:
In a vehicle brake system of the type employing both spring and service brake actuators, fluid which is discharged from the spring brake actuators at the initiation of spring brake application is exhausted through selected service brake actuators to effect at least a momentary service brake application. Since spring brakes normally respond relatively slowly as compared to service brakes, service brake application can be effected prior to spring brake application, and brake response time is reduced. The service brake actuators selected to receive exhausted spring brake fluid can be arranged to brake vehicle wheels which have no associated spring brake actuators, whereby emergency braking capability can be provided on vehicle wheels which have no spring brake actuators.
