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.
