An electronically controllable pneumatic brake system includes a service brake control module for controlling a first and a second service brake circuit, and a trailer control module with a trailer brake pressure connection point for connection to a trailer brake pressure coupling head. The trailer control module outputs a trailer brake pressure via the trailer brake pressure connection point. Upon a malfunction of the first and/or second service brake circuit, the first service brake pressure is controlled depending on the trailer brake pressure; and the second service brake pressure is controlled depending on the trailer brake pressure specified by the trailer control module; and/or the parking brake pressure is controlled directly or depending on the trailer brake pressure specified by the trailer control module. Upon a malfunction of the trailer control module, the trailer brake pressure is controlled depending on the first service brake pressure.

A train compartment brake control method includes: acquiring the number of train compartments of a current train; acquiring the number and type of a current train compartment; and on the basis of a train brake instruction and the number of train compartments of the current train, calculating a braking force of the current train compartment, and performing brake control on the current train compartment. The technical solution described in the present application is applicable to a train having any number of train compartments. The above method acquires the number of train compartments of a train in real time, calculates the braking force required by each train compartment according to the number and type of a current train compartment, and performs brake control on the train.

An electric booster for a vehicle including: a disc holder accommodating a reaction disc, a screw nut rotated in conjunction with an operation of a motor, a screw bolt linearly moved in conjunction with a rotation of the screw nut, a boosting block disposed between the reaction disc and the screw bolt, and contacting a radially outer portion of the reaction disc when the screw bolt moves, a pedal rod contacting a radially central portion of the reaction disc through the screw bolt and the boosting block, a disc holder pressing hole connected to the screw bolt, and disposed to face the disc holder, and a first breakage prevention gap part formed between the disc holder and the disc holder pressing hole.

A control system may include a modulator device that may receive a control signal for changing a traction operation or a braking operation of a vehicle system formed from one or more vehicles. The modulator device may generate an electric modulator signal based on the control signal and may control an actuator using the modulator signal to create an acoustic signal for propagation within a conduit extending along the vehicle system. The system also may include a transducer device that may detect the acoustic signal propagated in the conduit and generate an electric transducer signal based on the acoustic signal. The system may include a demodulator device that may control one or more of a traction device or a braking device to implement the control signal based on the transducer signal that is received.
