Activation system to control the activation of a control means and control system for a vehicle

A control system for at least one vehicle that includes a braking system including a main brake pipe arranged to contain a fluid, wherein a braking force is arranged to be generated by the braking system as a function of a pressure value of the fluid within the main brake pipe, wherein said control system includes:

• an activation system arranged to control an activation of at least one control means,
• wherein said control means is arranged to be installed in the at least one vehicle;
• wherein said control means is arranged to assume a resting state in which it consumes a first electrical energy value and an active state in which it consumes a second electrical energy value, greater than said first electrical energy value;
• said activation system comprising a pressure monitoring means arranged to:
• measure the pressure value of the fluid within the main brake pipe;
• and
• generate an activation signal when said pressure value of the fluid within said main brake pipe is equal to or less than a first predetermined threshold value;
• wherein said control means is arranged to receive said activation signal generated by the pressure monitoring means;
• and
• wherein said control means is further arranged to:
• when the control means is in the resting state and receives said activation signal, switch from the resting state to the active state;
• and
• at least one electronic means arranged to perform a predetermined function and be controlled by the control means of said activation system,
• wherein said at least one electronic means is a vehicle axle or bogie stability monitoring device/system.
