Abstract
The invention relates to a device and a method for controlling a braking device of a rail vehicle, wherein a pressure characteristic curve of the braking device is changed by means of characteristic curve change device as a function of a frictional characteristic of a type of brake lining used in the braking device.
Claims14
An apparatus for controlling a brake device of a rail vehicle, the apparatus comprising:
- a characteristic curve changing device for varying a pressure characteristic curve of the brake device dependent on a friction characteristic of a brake pad type used in the brake device.
A brake system for a rail vehicle, having an apparatus for controlling a brake device of the rail vehicle, the apparatus comprising a characteristic curve changing device for varying a pressure characteristic curve of the brake device dependent on a friction characteristic of a brake pad type used in the brake device.
A method for controlling a brake device of a rail vehicle, the method comprising:
- varying a pressure characteristic curve of the brake device in a manner dependent on a friction characteristic of a brake pad type used in the brake device.
A computer program having code means for controlling a brake device of the rail vehicle, when the computer program is executed in a computer system, the method comprising a characteristic curve changing device for varying a pressure characteristic curve of the brake device dependent on a friction characteristic of a brake pad type used in the brake device.
