DEVELOPMENT OF HIGH PERFORMANCE AIR BRAKE SYSTEM

Increase of train speed and train length requires the air brake control system to be of much quicker propagation. In order to meet this requirement, a new pressure control valve has been developed in JNR. This report deals with the theory on pressure wave propagation in the brake pipe, gives a brief explanation of the new valve and the road test results in both passenger and freight trains.
