To meet the requirement of a fool proof arrangement in the air suspension design, FIBA is connected with each air spring fitted under the coach.
The basic principle in this arrangement is to actuate the application of brakes in the event of air spring failure, which will immediately reduce the speed of the train and ultimately bring the train to a standstill.

Brake Control
Passenger Safety:
  • Easy handling of passenger to initiate brake incase of emergency.
  • Emergency Alarm Signal and Emergency Brake Application system.
  • Manual reset feature to reset the Emergency Alarm system.
Failure Indication and Brake Application (FIBA):
  • Indicate manually failure of Air bellows on both sides of the coach
  • Automatically applies brake incase of bellow failure.
  • Compact and modular design for better reliability.
  • The valve is machined from Aluminum block for light weight.
