Abstract
A control system and a control method receive, process and exchange information relating to at least one slip-protection system and a unit for outputting adhesion-optimizing material, such as sand, in a rail vehicle.
Claims13
A control device for at least one wheel-slide-protection system and at least one adhesion-optimizing material dispensation device of a rail vehicle, the control device comprising:
- a first input device receiving at least one state signal;
- a second input device receiving a captured state variable of the at least one wheel-slide-protection system;
- a third input device receiving a captured state variable of the at least one adhesion-optimizing material dispensation device,
- wherein the control device is configured to determine a desired slip or desired slip range depending on the at least one state signal and on the captured state variable of the at least one adhesion-optimizing material dispensation device, and to output the desired slip or desired slip range to the at least one wheel-slide-protection system-via a first output device.
A control method for controlling the functioning of at least one wheel-slide-protection system and also of at least one adhesion-optimizing material dispensation system, wherein the method comprises:
- capturing at least one state signal;
- capturing an operating state of the at least one wheel-slide-protection system;
- capturing an operating state of the at least one adhesion-optimizing material dispensation system;
- setting a desired slip or desired slip range of the at least one wheel-slide-protection system as a function of the at least one state signal and also as a function of the captured operating state of the at least one adhesion-optimizing material dispensation system.
