A train air brake force model: Car control unit and numerical results

Last updated on 08 August 2014 3:08

This and a companion paper focus on the integration of a model of a train’s air brake and a non-linear model of a train’s dynamics based on the use of trajectory coordinate formulations. The forces developed by the air brake depend on various system components, including the automatic brake valve,...
