A railway freight brake system for operating vehicles in a train wherein each vehicle responds in braking situations to provide a generally uniform net braking ratio on all cars in the train. Embodiments include vehicles receiving a brake signal and utilizing either a received train net braking ratio or utilizing a stored on-board train net braking ratio to control pneumatic equipment on-board the vehicle to produce brake forces on the vehicle generally corresponding to the net braking ratio of the train. Some embodiments use a common train line control to communicate both train net braking ratio and brake signals to the individual vehicle. Individual vehicles can receive periodic or initial train net brake ratio values.
Un système de freinage de wagons à marchandises qui prévoit une réponse de freinage de chaque wagon telle que le coefficient de freinage net est généralement le même pour tous les wagons du train. Un signal de freinage transmis aux wagons déclenche un mécanisme de contrôle pneumatique embarqué qui, à partir d'un coefficient de freinage net du train reçu ou d'un coefficient de freinage net du train prédéterminé, commande une force de freinage du wagon correspondant généralement au coefficient de freinage net du train. Certains appareillages utilisent la ligne de train déjà en place pour transmettre le coefficient de freinage net du train et le signal de freinage à chaque wagon. Chaque wagon reçoit périodiquement ou initialement des valeurs correspondant au coefficient de freinage net du train.
