Tech/Engineering - Transport / Transportation / Shipping / Train braking systems | | French term or phrase: asservissement | Two successive items on a list:
1. Asservissement traction/freinage - which sounds to me like "subordination" or "override" (as in KudoZ glossary), where the brake control overrides the traction control...
But the next item is:
2. Asservissement à l'urgence - which seems quite clearly to be in the sense of power assisted (or servo)emergency braking.
My problem is that this term is apparently being used in two quite different meanings in two neighbouring list items, which I would try to avoid if I was the author. I don't want to be too casual about ensuring that trains can stop! Any suggestions? |
