An electronic air brake control system which utilizes an inter-car distance measuring sensor for determining the distance between adjacent railcars and thereby determining the coupling slack and also determining the performance and response of railcar brake applications. The system providing the capability of controlling the stack to increase or decrease slack at a controlled rate and further for monitoring and regulating the amount of pneumatic brake signal required to produce a predetermined level of wheel resistance, together with a system and method for applying railcar brakes when predetermined characteristics relating to distance between cars and rate of change of distance between cars meets predetermined characteristics.
