Provide are a brake system for rail cars, a brake control device for a rail car, and a brake control method for rail cars such that redundant control is achieved with a simpler configuration. A brake system (1) for rail cars includes a plurality of brake control devices (11, 12, 13) individually provided in a plurality of cars (101, 102, 103) constituting a consist (104). Each brake control device (10 (11, 12, 13)) can output the information of its respective car (101, 102, 103) to the other brake control devices (10) via a transmission device (20) and can calculate a necessary entire braking force (BRA) required for braking all of the plurality of cars (101, 102, 103) using the information output from the other brake control devices (10) to the transmission device (20). |
