The braking system of a train is not exactly similar to that of other vehicles. This is because of the uneven distribution of mass and.,hence., the different requirement of braking force along the train. In this project we investigate the different braking systems of trains and their integration with advanced controls. We then propose a closed loop system that takes into account the behavior of the driver and the dynamics of the train in order to provide an effective braking mechanism. A controller is designed for an assumed model of a train which shows only 5% error in the achieved speed after braking. The controller stabilizes the braking force in accordance with the driver's input which leads to a more efficient braking process. We propose a control system that takes multiple inputs from the train components and uses them to analyze and process a calculated braking output which stops the train within the required distance while keeping a stable deceleration. Such an approach eases the driving conditions for the driver and also maximizes the efficiency of the braking process of train.
