Abstract: A brake control device for a brake system of a rail vehicle, wherein the brake control device detects strain during a braking process on at least one friction brake device actuated during the braking process, the brake control device further stores wear data based on the detected strain in a memory device. Also disclosed is a brake system for a rail vehicle having such a brake control device, a rail vehicle having such a brake system and/or such a brake control device, and a method for operating a brake control device for a brake system of a rail vehicle.

Abstract: A brake device of a vehicle, containing an eddy current disk brake having a rotationally fixed stator and a rotating rotor, wherein the rotor or the stator bears an eddy current path and the stator or the rotor bears a magnetic arrangement, the magnetic field lines of which induce eddy currents in the eddy current path for generating a braking torque upon a relative movement of the rotor with respect to the stator, and a friction disk brake having at least one brake disk and brake pads cooperating with the brake disk for generating a braking friction torque between the brake disk and the brake pads, wherein the rotor of the eddy current disk brake is formed by the brake disk of the friction disk brake.
