Abstract: A method and equipment determine braking-relevant actual values for a train composed of a plurality of wagons, in particular a rail vehicle, for the performance of controlled-retardation braking of the train, in which at least the longitudinal retardation is taken into account as an actual value, from which, using a retardation controller, in accordance with a predefined target value of a desired break retardation, an actuating value compensating for the control deviation is determined for an actuator of the brake, in that the longitudinal retardation is measured by a plurality of retardation sensors positioned along the train in at least two different wagons to determine the respective local longitudinal retardation, the longitudinal retardation based on the entire train then being calculated as an actual value by a central measured value detection unit.

Abstract: A braking system for a rail vehicle includes a target value generator for the target value of the overall braking power, a controller for determining at least one manipulated variable value on the basis of the target value and at least one actuator which transmits the manipulated variable value to the at least one braking device. The system at least approximately determines acceleration components of the rail vehicle and determines the actual value of the total braking power from the acceleration components while taking the vehicle speed and the vehicle mass into consideration. The controller is designed to control the manipulated variable value such as to reduce the control deviation between the target value and the determined actual value.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for maintaining total braking power of a rail vehicle while taking the available friction conditions into consideration. The method includes recognizing that at least one unit is wheel-slide controlled; retrieving the type of friction prevailing on the wheel-slide controlled units; determining the values ?0 and K?0 for each unit that is wheel-slide controlled; forming a function for the value ?0 and a function for the value K?0, in each case over the entire length of the units comparing the actual braking request in each of the units, to the function of the value K?0, and changing each braking request in each of the units, towards the respective value of the function of K?0.
