Development of a Rail Brake Derived from Linear Motor Technology

Last updated on 29 May 2014 8:40

Studies have been carried out on a rail brake developed by applying a linear induction motor technology, called LIM-type rail brake. This brake is capable of generating braking forces without contact. In addition, this method decreases the rise in rail temperature, and on-board supply of electric power is not required...
