    Abstract: A system and method for detecting broken rails in a track of parallel rails includes at least one first broken rail detection module configured to measure a current through the track and a central control system configured to determine a location of at least one train on the track. The at least one first broken rail detection module is configured to send the central control system a signal based on the measured current. The central control office is configured to determine if a broken rail exists on the track and/or a location of the broken rail on the track based at least partially on the measured current and the location of the at least one train on the track.

    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for an air brake system of a train with an air brake system, including: (i) determining consist data associated with the train; (ii) determining track data comprising location data and grade data; (iii) determining required train holding force based at least partially on the consist data and the track data; and (iv) determining hand brake arrangement actuation data based at least partially on the required train holding force. An improved hand brake arrangement is also disclosed.
