	Applying brakes with compressed air is quicker, which is why some vehicles are equipped with {{pll\|Independent Brake\|independent brakes}}, rather than just handbrakes. More importantly, compressed air allows brakes to be applied synchronously throughout an entire train, with the so called {{pll\|~~Independent~~ Brake\|train brake}}.

The air in the brake system is pumped by compressors found onboard the motorized vehicles, and it is shared throughout the train via a system of valves, pipes and hoses. For simplicity, the system can be viewed as composed of three separate units: main reservoir, brake pipe and brake cylinder.
