Abstract
A control device for a rail vehicle, the rail vehicle having a braking system with at least one dynamic braking device and at least one further braking device. The control device determines the brake force exerted by the dynamic braking device during braking based on deceleration data, which represent an overall deceleration of the rail vehicle, tractive resistance data, which represent a tractive resistance of the rail vehicle, and braking data, which represent a brake force exerted by the at least one further braking device. Also disclosed is a braking system having the control device, a rail vehicle, and a corresponding method.
Claims11
A control device for a rail vehicle, wherein the rail vehicle has a brake system comprising at least one dynamic brake device and at least one further brake device, the control device determining a braking force, which is exerted during a braking operation by the dynamic brake device based on deceleration data which represents total deceleration of the rail vehicle, traveling resistance data which represents a traveling resistance of the rail vehicle, and brake data which represents a braking force which is exerted by the at least one further brake device.
A method for determining, using a control device, a braking force which is exerted by a dynamic brake device of a brake system of a rail vehicle during a braking operation, wherein the brake system has at least one further brake device, the method comprising:
- the control device determining the braking force which is exerted by the dynamic brake device during a braking operation based on deceleration data which represents total deceleration of the rail vehicle, traveling resistance data which represents a traveling resistance of the rail vehicle, and brake data which represents a braking force which is exerted by the at least one further brake device.
