  • Patent number: 9522667
    Abstract: A control device for a rail vehicle, the rail vehicle having a braking system with at least one dynamic braking device and at least one further braking device. The control device determines the brake force exerted by the dynamic braking device during braking based on deceleration data, which represent an overall deceleration of the rail vehicle, tractive resistance data, which represent a tractive resistance of the rail vehicle, and braking data, which represent a brake force exerted by the at least one further braking device. Also disclosed is a braking system having the control device, a rail vehicle, and a corresponding method.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8972144
    Abstract: A method for controlling an antislip-regulated friction brake system of a rail vehicle or rail vehicle train having a number of braked axles which subjects at least two selected axles to a braking pressure exceeding the braking pressure required for braking; measures at least one variable representing the maximum transmittable frictional force in each case between the wheels of the selected axles and the rail; prepares a list associating the selected axles with the respectively transmittable brake friction force; identifies at least one brake-slipping axle from the selected axles in which a brake slip exceeding a predetermined extent occurs; calculates lost braking work; identifies from the list at least one axle in which brake-slipping does not occur or occurs to a permissible extent; and applies the brakes on at least one axle.
