Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A train control system and method for use in an electronically-controlled pneumatic (ECP)-equipped train having a lead locomotive or control car, at least one railroad car and, optionally, at least one trailing locomotive or control car. A first controller or computer generates a train brake command and directly or indirectly transmit the train brake command to the at least one railroad car. A second controller or computer separate from the first controller or computer determines transmission of the train brake command to the at least one railroad car. Il est décrit un système de commande de train et un procédé utilisé dans un train pneumatique et à commande électronique ayant une locomotive meneuse ou un wagon-pilote meneur, au moins un wagon et, facultativement, au moins une locomotive suiveuse ou wagon suiveur. Un premier contrôleur ou ordinateur génère une commande de freinage de train et transmet ladite commande, directement ou indirectement, à tout wagon. Un deuxième contrôleur ou ordinateur séparé du premier contrôleur ou ordinateur détermine une transmission de la commande de freinage de train à tout wagon.
