| Zusammenfassung: | An apparatus and method for incorporating a feedback mechanism (
24
) into a train railcar wheel braking system (
10
) to regulate applied braking force. The feedback mechanism (
24
) provides information to an electronically controlled pneumatic braking system (
10
) sufficient to detect impending wheel slip or skid. Responsive to the wheel slip/skid information, a brake control processor (
18
) modulates the braking force applied to the train railcar wheel system to enable the braking system (
10
) to apply a braking force without damaging the railcar wheel system or rails over which the railcar wheels are traveling. |
