Embodiment Construction

[0022] exist figure 1 , the reference symbol T designates the railway trainset as a whole, comprising a lead master locomotive ML and at least one intermediate or trailing slave locomotive SL, and a plurality of trains or cars C.

[0023] exist figure 1 In the embodiment schematically shown in , locomotives ML and SL are electric locomotives powered by overhead conductor CC via respective pantographs P. However, the invention is not limited to application to trainsets comprising such locomotives.

[0024] The train set T is provided with a known type of pneumatic braking system, in which all the vehicles in the train set are pneumatically connected together by brake ducts kept at a predetermined pressure (eg 5 bar), and the brakes of all vehicles are kept open .

[0025] The pressure drop in the brake ducts caused by actuating the brake cocks in the cab of the main locomotive ML is propagated throughout the trainset and to the brake equipment on the individual vehicles. Di...

Abstract

Traction and braking control system for a train set (T) comprising a master locomotive (ML), at least one slave locomotive (SL) and a plurality of cars (C), wherein each locomotive (ML, SL) includes a corresponding Manually actuated control devices (3; 4) and corresponding electronic control units (ECUM; ECUS) associated traction equipment (1) and braking equipment (2). The system is characterized in that the control unit (ECUM) in the main vehicle (ML) is designed to check the consistency of the commands given by the driver with at least one operating device and to provide the driver with information on how to operate said control device (3 , 4) Instructions to achieve said operational goals; generating traction and / or braking control signals from the stored data and sending said control signals to the control unit (ECUS) of the slave locomotive (SL).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a traction and braking control system for railway trainsets. [0002] More specifically, the present invention relates to a traction and braking control system for a railway trainset comprising a lead lead locomotive, at least one trailing or intermediate follower locomotive and a plurality of cars or trains and provided with pneumatic braking and wherein each of said locomotives includes braking and traction equipment associated with respective manual controls and a respective electronic control unit and associated transceiver means through which the electronic control unit of the main locomotive able to communicate with the control unit of said at least one slave locomotive; this arrangement enables the traction and braking equipment of at least one slave locomotive to be controlled by the master locomotive. Background technique [0003] In existing railway trainsets, all locomotives operate synchronously, ie one or ...
