Braking system has not really been addressed thoroughly in the previous reports. Since I'm a part of fail/safe team, emergency braking system in the bogie design would be key if the system fails due to technical error or catastrophic events. The emergency braking should be triggered manually and is equipped with traditional mechanical system. For example, all the rotating wheels of the bogie be chained together in such a way that once the emergency brake is triggered, the stretched chain would stop the wheels from rotating any further. Installation of a damper would give fluency to the braking process.
