Bendix’s Intellipark Electronic Parking Brake features easy-to-engage, ergonomic electronic switches and built-in LED lights that clearly show brake status at a glance.

The Intellipark Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) System from Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems LLC uses interlocks installed in critical areas to help potentially mitigate truck rollaways before they start by applying the parking brakes if the driver forgets.

Once the interlock conditions are met, the Smart Unpark functionality allows the driver to unpark the vehicle by pushing the parking brake switch at vehicle startup.

The easy-to-read LED interface helps the driver understand the status of the parking brakes on the vehicle. Drivers know at a glance if the vehicle is parked or unparked.

Additional optional features:

  • Auto Trailer Brake Release: Automatically releases the trailer parking brakes when the system detects that the driver forgets and when the system recognizes that the trailer is in motion but is still in a parked state.
  • Exhaust-at-Speed: In an emergency, Intellipark may help the driver slow the vehicle when the service brakes are not available.
  • Improved Interface: Ergonomic, easy-to-apply electronic switches replace the red and yellow push/pull knobs.
  • Actionable Information: System can generate valuable information that will be accessible via SafetyDirect by Bendix CVS for analysis and driver training. Check with your Bendix account manager for availability.
  • Intellipark Display Unit (IDU): This user-friendly display can indicate system status, messages, alerts, and interlock status.
  • Integration: Intellipark is also positioned for integration with Bendix Wingman Fusion, which enables the use of the parking brakes to further enhance driver assistance functions.

Designed for almost any air-braked vehicle - including tractor-trailers, single-unit trucks, motorcoaches, and school buses - Intellipark delivers safety, value, and a quick ROI to any fleet.

Disclaimer: Bendix emphasizes that, like all advanced technologies, the Bendix Intellipark Electronic Parking Brake System is designed to complement safe driving practices. No commercial vehicle safety technology, including Bendix safety technologies, replaces a skilled, alert driver exercising safe driving techniques and proactive, comprehensive driver training. Responsibility for the safe operation of the vehicle remains with the driver at all times. Never wait for the system to intervene. Every driver should carefully review the operator’s manual and be trained by the fleet or vehicle owner on the proper operation and limitations of advanced technologies during operation.
