A method is described for controlling pneumatic pressure by actuating a charge and a discharge valve that vary the pressure, comprising, providing a matrix wherein each cell indicates a time for opening the charge or discharge valve; if the initial pressure value in the volume is less than the target pressure value to be reached, opening the charge valve, decreasing the value of the opening time indicated in the selected cell if the pressure value in the volume exceeds the target pressure value and possibly increasing the value of the time indicated in the selected cell; if the initial pressure value in the volume is greater than the target pressure value, opening the one discharge valve for the time indicated in a selected cell and possibly increasing the time value indicated in the selected cell and possibly decreasing the time value indicated in the selected cell.

Method and system for controlling the pneumatic pressure in a volume

A system is provided for detecting an abnormal gait condition of a railway vehicle, including a first control chain and a second control chain connected to a digital output adapted to supply or not supply power to a load. The first control chain comprises a first sensor for detecting first detection data of movement of the railway vehicle, and a first control unit for receiving the first detection data, executing a first program for checking an abnormal gait and for controlling first electronic control means for supplying or not supplying power to the load. The second control chain comprises a second sensor for detecting second detection data of movement of the railway vehicle, and a second control unit for receiving the second detection data, executing a second program for checking an abnormal gait, and for controlling second electronic control means for supplying or not supplying power to the load.
