NEW DEVELOPMENTS IN THE FIELD OF ELECTROPNEUMATIC BRAKE CONTROL SYSTEMS

Different methods of electric transmission as well as of electric or pneumatic processing of the braking signal are compared with each other to demonstrate the potential of electropneumatic braking control and its characteristic features. The electropneumatic transducer and its further development are dealt with in particular detail. The study of a brake control system in a closed-loop deceleration circuit illustrates the dynamic behaviour and the controllability of a braking system put into practice.
