A railway freight brake method and apparatus for operating vehicles in a freight train having a locomotive and a number of railway freight vehicles wherein the individual railway freight vehicles can be controlled in a grade descending mode. When desired, such as when the locomotive transmits a grade mode signal to the individual vehicles, the individual vehicles can brake to produce a generally uniform net shoe force on the wheels of the vehicles. The generally uniform net shoe force can be limited on each vehicle to a value or ratio, such as a percentage of net braking ratio of the given vehicle. On-board calculations can be done in a microprocessor to calculate the vehicle brake cylinder pressure corresponding to the desired net shoe force. This calculation can be done using car parameters stored on-board the vehicle.
Une méthode de freinage de wagons à marchandises et un appareil pour contrôler individuellement chaque wagon à marchandises d'un train qui descend une pente. Au besoin, notamment lorsque la locomotive leur transmet un signal de déclivité, tous les wagons peuvent freiner individuellement et ainsi appliquer une force généralement uniforme aux semelles de frein. Cette force généralement uniforme peut se limiter pour chaque wagon à une valeur quelconque, comme un pourcentage du coefficient de freinage net du wagon en question. Un ordinateur embarqué peut calculer la pression du cylindre de frein correspondant à la force nette devant être appliquée aux semelles de frein. Ce calcul peut se faire à partir de données conservées en mémoire à bord du wagon.
