SME braking is a straight air-brake system having an automatic emergency feature by means of which the simplicity of the straight air brake

+
is retained for service operation, but it also has the additional protection afforded by the automatic application of the brake in
3226
+
case of a break-in-two or the bursting of a hose. SME braking is typically used on short DMU rail sets. SME braking is a form of electro-pneumatic (EP)

brake system, however EP and SME equipped cars cannot be mixed together in the same consist.
