ABSTRACT:
An electro-pneumatic railroad braking system is provided which uses a digital computer to provide enhanced performance and flexibility. The computer makes it possible to eliminate microswitches and other equipment used in present systems. Compatibility is provided for several different electro-pneumatic braking systems by providing routines in the computer for each of the alternative braking systems, and selecting the routine to be used when the locomotive or other vehicle carrying the system is coupled to a train of other vehicles.
