Train Braking
نویسنده
چکیده
Train braking is a very complex process, specific to rail vehicles and of great importance by the essential contribution on the safety of the traffic. This complexity results from the fact that during braking occur numerous phenomena of different kinds mechanical, thermal, pneumatic, electrical, etc. The actions of these processes take place in various points of the vehicles and act on different parts of the train, with varying intensities. The major problem is that all must favorably interact for the intended scope, to provide efficient, correct and safe braking actions.

متن کاملModelling the longitudinal dynamics of long freight trains during the braking phase
The common use of UIC Pneumatic braking plant in long freight trains may involve time delays in the application of the braking forces along the convoy. This variable braking action along the train may cause heavy longitudinal efforts that could lead to wagons damaging and even cause train derailment. Simulations of these phenomena are very important both for safety and economic reasons since lo...
متن کاملAspects Concerning the Longitudinal Dynamics of Passenger Trains During Braking Actions
During the braking action, there appear dynamic reactions between the component vehicles of the train, acting on the shock and traction apparatus. Under certain conditions, these forces may reach high values, affecting the passengers’ comfort and, more important, even the safety of the traffic. Considering the train as mechanical model of an elastic-damped system with several liberty degrees, c...

The braking rate and train arresting operation is important in the train braking performance. It is difficult to obtain the states of the train on time because of the measurement noise and a long calculation time. A type of Group Stochastic M-algorithm (GSMA) based on Rao-Blackwellization Particle Filter (RBPF) algorithm and Stochastic M-algorithm (SMA) is proposed in this paper. Compared with ...

This paper describes a computer aided approach to the study of the longitudinal dynamics of a braked train. The numerical simulation of the phenomena takes into account the delay between the braking action of the cars and the fact that the values of the braking force of each wagon is reached gradually, in certain time after the braking command. The values of the time interval elapsed between th...
