  2. End-of-train device - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/End-of-train_device

    A "dumb" ETD can be as simple as a red flag attached to the coupler on the last car of the train, whereas "smart" devices monitor functions such as brake line pressure and accidental separation of the train using a motion sensor, functions that were previously monitored by a crew in the caboose.

  3. Brake fluid pressure sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_fluid_pressure_sensor

    The fault could be lack of hydraulic fluid, low brake fluid in the reservoir, a broken hydraulic line or a bad master brake cylinder. The sensor is used to detect pressure differentials in the hydraulic system. If the car alerts a fault in the hydraulic system and the system checks out, the sensor itself may have failed. [2]

  4. Brake tester - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_tester

    A roller brake tester is a method of allowing the dynamic assessment of the braking system of a motor vehicle, whilst the vehicle itself is in a static condition.This type of brake tester is normally used in UK garages when used as part of an inspection lane for the MOT test.

  6. Vacuum brake - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_brake

    a brake cylinder on each vehicle containing a piston, connected by rigging to the brake shoes on the vehicle; and; a vacuum (pressure) gauge on the locomotive to indicate to the driver the degree of vacuum in the train pipe. The brake cylinder is contained in a larger housing—this gives a reserve of vacuum as the piston operates.

  7. Power brakes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_brakes

    The pressure inside of the master cylinder is created by a primary and secondary piston. These are pushed by the output rod of the vacuum booster to compress fluid within its primary and secondary chambers (hydraulic pressure). The hydraulic pressure is translated through the brake lines to the brake calipers.
