A method and system for providing true failsafe control of an electronic braking system by a train control system which controls a switch that supplies power to the electronic braking system. When the train control system determines that it is necessary to activate the train's brakes, it controls the switch so as to remove power to the electronic braking system, which results in activation of the train's brakes. In highly preferred embodiments, the switch is of a type that is normally open and that requires the presence of an electrical signal to close the switch to supply power to the electronic braking system. In such embodiments, any loss in power to the train control system will result in a loss of signal to the switch, thereby causing activation of the train's brakes.

L'invention concerne un procédé et un système permettant d'assurer un véritable contrôle intégré de sécurité de système de freinage électronique par le biais d'un système de contrôle de train qui contrôle un commutateur d'alimentation du système de freinage. Lorsque le système de contrôle du train établit qu'il est nécessaire d'activer les freins, il contrôle le commutateur pour alimenter le système de freinage, ce qui entraîne l'activation des freins. En modes de réalisation préférés prioritairement, le commutateur est du type normalement ouvert nécessitant un signal électrique pour sa fermeture, ce qui permet l'alimentation du système de freinage. En l'occurrence, toute perte d'alimentation du système de contrôle du train entraîne une perte de signal pour le commutateur, ce qui entraîne l'activation des freins.
