  • Abstract
    The paper outlines the development and requirements of relevant legislation. It shows how the systems to meet the requirements have developed and how they are met with current technology. It explores different braking systems and the interfaces between braking and traction control systems. Finally it looks at the implications of such control systems on track capacity and the slippery topic of adhesion in the evolving world of ERTMS.
