A method of changing between two operator stations in a cab of a locomotive for controlling the brakes of the locomotive and of a train of railway cars connected to the locomotive. The stations each have at least one brake handle and an associated selector switch, with each of the switches being electrically connected to a brake control computer. The method includes stopping the train if the train is in motion and placing the brake valve handles of the stations in a position to apply the brakes at full service. One of the operator stations is selected as an active station for braking the train while the other station is selected to be inactive. Signals are directed from the selector switches at the operator stations to the computer, the signals indicating which of the two stations is active and inactive. The computer is provided with the software that accepts a valid transition to the station selected by the operator as the active station.

La présente invention a pour objet une méthode permettant de passer d'un poste de conduite à l'autre pour commander le fonctionnement d'un frein de locomotive et d'un train de wagons ferroviaires. Chaque poste de conduite est doté d'au moins un poignée de frein en association avec un commutateur, chaque poste de commutation étant électriquement connecté à un ordinateur de commande. La méthode consiste à freiner le train en mouvement et à mettre la poignée de frein de chaque poste de conduite en position de freinage maximal. Un des postes de conduite est sélectionné comme poste de conduite active pour freiner le train tandis que l'autre poste est en mode de commande passive. Des signaux sont produits à partir des postes de commutation des postes de conduite et transmis à l'ordinateur, les signaux indiquant lequel des deux postes de conduite est en mode actif et lequel est en mode passif. L'ordinateur est chargé d'un logiciel qui accepte la transition valide vers le poste sélectionné par le conducteur comme poste de conduite active.
