Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A vehicle monitoring assembly includes a housing, an emergency valve, a first energy storage device (ESD), a second ESD, and a controller. The housing is configured to be operably coupled with a vehicle system. The emergency valve is operably connected to a brake pipe of the vehicle system. The first ESD, the second ESD, and the controller are disposed within the housing. The second ESD is a different type of energy storage device than the first ESD. The controller is operably connected to the first ESD and the second ESD via one or more switch devices. The controller is configured to operate the one or more switch devices to supply power from at least one of the first ESD or the second ESD to the emergency valve for activating the emergency valve.
