Brzdy sú zariadenia nachádzajúce sa na palube koľajových vozidiel, ktoré slúžia na ich spomalenie, zastavenie alebo ich udržanie na mieste. Existuje niekoľko rôznych typov bŕzd, ktoré sú typicky prítomné na motorizovaných a iných koľajových vozidlách, pričom každá z nich je výhodná na konkrétny účel. Každá z nich je ovládaná samostatným ovládacím zariadením, zvyčajne pákou alebo kľukou, ktoré môžu byť umiestnené vo vnútri kabíny alebo na vonkajšej strane vozidla.
Brzdové páky sú najčastejšie orientované tak, aby boli smerom od vodiča. Je to tak, že v prípade núdze môže vodič z bezpečnostných dôvodov posunúť všetky páky dopredu bez toho, aby musel premýšľať o individuálnom pravidle ovládania každého ovládača.
Typy bŕzd sú:
Vlaková brzda:
Používa sa na spomalenie alebo zastavenie vlakov.
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.
