AUTOMATIC DRIVE AND BRAKE CONTROL FOR THE INTERCITY MULTIPLE-UNIT TRAIN, TYPE ET 403

DIE AUTOMATISCHE FAHR-UND BREMSSTEUERUNG FUER DEN INTER-CITYTRIEBZUG ET 403

A thyristor control system is described. It is reported that trains incorporating this system showed that every cutoff speed could be maintained within plus minus 0.25 km/hr and a target braking accuracy of plus minus 0.25 m was achieved. It was possible to relieve the conductor from performing manual operations to a considerable extent.
