Abstract
A control device and corresponding method for controlling a traction function or a braking function of a vehicle, including a moving control lever which can be set in a first position 0 in which neither the traction function nor the braking function are activated, and an unstable position 0i in which the vehicle coasts by reducing electrical traction force and electrical braking force to zero. The control lever can be moved from the first position 0 over a first zone 0+ in which the electrical traction function is activated, either by increasing the electrical traction force, or by decreasing the electrical braking force. The control lever further can be moved from the first position 0 over a second zone 0- in which the electrical braking function is activated, either by decreasing the electrical traction force, or by increasing the electrical braking force. Additionally, the control lever can be moved from a--end of the second zone 0- over a third zone -F in which a pneumatic braking function of the vehicle is activated, and can be set in a second position EM, following the third zone -F, in which both the electrical braking function and the pneumatic braking function are activated simultaneously.

Important Notes on Latency of Status data
Please note there is up to 60 days of latency in this Status indicator for certain status conditions. You can obtain up-to-date Status indicator readings by ordering PAIR for the file.
An application with the status "Published" (which means it is pending) may be recently abandoned, but not yet updated to reflect its abandoned status. However, an application filed less than one year ago is unlikely to be abandoned.
A patent with the status "Granted" may be recently expired, but not yet updated to reflect its expired status. However, it is highly unlikely a patent less than 3.5 years old would be expired.
An application with the status "Abandoned" is almost always current, but there is a small chance it was recently revived and the status not yet updated.
Important Note on Priority Date data
This priority date is an estimated earliest priority date and is purely an estimation. This date should not be taken as legal conclusion. No representations are made as to the accuracy of the date listed. Please consult a legal professional before relying on this date.
