BRAKE CONTROL APPARATUS FOR RAILWAY VEHICLES, BRAKE CONTROL METHOD FOR RAILWAY VEHICLES AND BRAKE CONTROL PROGRAM FOR RAILWAY VEHICLES

A brake control apparatus for railway vehicles (50) includes: a flow sensor (80) provided in a flow path between a brake control valve (14) controlled according to a brake command and a brake cylinder (16t) operating according to a pressure of a fluid; a determination unit 62 that determines whether a fluid leak occurs based on an output value of the flow sensor (80); and an isolation valve (30) provided in a flow path (20) between the brake control valve (14) and the brake cylinder (16t); and an isolation control unit (64) that controls, by using the isolation valve (30), a downstream side of the isolation valve (30) in the flow path (20) to be isolated from an upstream side of the isolation valve (30) when a fluid leak is identified.
