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, 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 operating state of the at least one adhesion-optimizing material dispensation system.
