The system has an unsafe electric service brake (1) integrated to a traction chain, and a switching unit (20) for carrying out switching from the electric brake on a safe brake (2) e.g. mechanical or electric brake. A monitoring device (3) monitors performance of the electric brake by current intensity measurement data. A decision device (4) decides switching from the electric brake on the brake (2) from crossing a predetermined threshold value by the measurement data. A transmission device (5) transmits a switching order to the switching unit. An independent claim is also included for a method for performing safe braking for an electrical traction vehicle i.e. railway vehicle. |
