Fundamental principles of modern brake equipment design, using as a theme the Generation, Transmission, and Interpretation of the brake demand signal. The limitations of the conventional systems using air as a transmission medium are briefly stated showing the necessity for the adoption of electrical control to achieve the performance required from a modern brake control system. Electrical brake control systems fall into two categories, the so called 'All Electric' arrangements where the electric demand transmission system provides the only brake communication path down the train, and the combined 'Electric-Pneumatic' arrangements where electrical control is superimposed on to an otherwise conventional pneumatically controlled brake system. The paper consideres the relative merits and applications of the two concepts, and goes on to discuss the various alternative electrical demand transmission systems in current use. Throughout the paper emphasis is laid on the importance of 'Integrity', 'Reliability', and the 'Ability to Fail Safe' in the design of any brake system.
