RECOGNITION SYSTEM FOR DETERMINING A POSITION OF A BRAKING CONTROL DEVICE ALONG A TRAIN

A recognition system of a position of a mechatronic braking control device associated with a railway vehicle along a train is described. The recognition system includes a sustaining and fixing support installed on the railway vehicle, an identifying binary coding of the position along the train, and a mechatronic braking control device adapted to be fixed to the sustaining and fixing support and including an optical reading device arranged to detect the identifying binary coding. The mechatronic braking control device determines the position along the train according to the binary coding that is read by the optical reading device.
