Brake modes

There are three braking modes: P, G and R. P and R are for passenger trains, while G is for freight trains. [2]

The difference between P and R is the strength of the braking effect. In P mode it is around 110%, in R it is much higher (depending on the wagons it can be close to 200%).

Mode Usage Determined speed [3] Full braking time Brake release time
P Passenger trains 89 km/h or lower 3-5 sec 10-20 sec
R Passenger trains 90-160 km/h 3-5 sec 10-20 sec
G Freight trains - 18-30 sec 45-60 sec
