Les freins sont des dispositifs que l'on trouve à bord des véhicules ferroviaires et qui servent à les ralentir, les arrêter ou à les maintenir à l'arrêt. Il existe plusieurs types de freins qui sont généralement présents sur les engins moteurs et autres matériels roulants, chacuns ayant leurs avantages. Chaque frein est actionné par un dispositif de commande individuel, généralement un levier ou un manipulateur qui peut être situé à l'intérieur de la cabine ou à l'extérieur du véhicule.
L'application des freins est presque toujours faite pour être orientée loin du conducteur. Ainsi, en cas d'urgence, le conducteur peut pousser tous les leviers vers l'avant par mesure de sécurité, sans avoir à se souvenir quel levier commande quel frein.
Les types de freins sont :
Frein Continu Automatique (FCA) :
Utilisé pour ralentir ou arrêter les trains.
Risks
Some of the main risks associated with brakes are:
- Parked trains turning into runaways due to brake cylinder leaks and misapplied handbrakes.
- Forgotten applied handbrake(s) resulting in hindered pulling power.
- Badly set up brake pipe valves leading to limited train brake availability.
- Traction loss resulting in wheelslide if brakes are applied too hard in wet conditions.
- Prolonged mechanical brake usage resulting in brake shoe overheating and loss of braking power.
- Incorrectly setup brake cutout valves, resulting in dysfunctional train brakes.
- Excessive dynamic brake use leading to powertrain overheating.
Warnings
Depending on the session difficulty settings, a flashing warning light above the brake pipe gauge indicates certain problems with the braking system. They are:
- There is a handbrake applied somewhere on the train.
- One of the brake pipe valves is incorrectly setup somewhere on the train.
- There are more than one brake control devices cut in, or none is, on the train.
