Abstract
A method and arrangement for controlling the respective brake of a device for transporting people, such as an escalator or a moving pavement in that the control signals for the drive motors and the brake are monitored with the aid of several processors. If functional interruptions occur in the region of the device for transporting people, the brake is applied abruptly. If deceleration values are detected, the brake is relieved in a defined manner and the device for transporting people is thus stopped via the processors within a predetermined time interval.
