| Abstract | Passenger brake equipment has evolved since George Westinghouse first demonstrated the straight air brake could successfully stop a train and avoid an incident in Pittsburgh, PA. Until recently, the transmission of commands through the pneumatic brake pipe has been the preferred method for brake control. Various configurations have been used to assist the command transmission with the most common being analog (on-off) electrical train lines. Data buses such as the Multifunction Vehicle Bus (MVB) and Ethernet have been used in regional train applications. These applications were for trains limited in length and were not suited for freight brake applications. The AAR has adopted a powered trainline control referred to as AAR S-4200 ECP (electrically controlled pneumatics). ECP has been successfully implemented throughout the heavy haul freight operation and has been recommended by the FRA for the future general rail system environment. Intercity and regional operations operate on the same general rail system therefore a strong case exists for adopting the AAR S-4200 technology for passenger rail operations. This paper will address the issues involved in applying the AAR S-4200 technology. These issues include assuring the technology will operate safely intermixed with existing pneumatic and pure ECP trains, emulation of the existing pneumatic brake equipment to minimize in-train forces, meeting the federal regulations related to passenger brake equipment, implementing cab car control which is common in push-pull (regional) operations, developing the necessary standards for the passenger ECP brake technology and initial demonstration of that technology. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
