LATEST DEVELOPMENTS IN THE BRAKING OF RAILWAY ROLLING STOCK (SYSTEMS, CONTROL, TYPES OF EQUIPMENT, MATERIALS USED...)

Since the increase in speed, length and weight of trains continues to increase, the development of braking systems becomes more and more important. Recommendations considered the utilization of braking force within the limits of wheel adhesion, trains exceeding 120 km/h should use anti-skid systems, non-metallic discs or brake shoes are recommended for high speed operations, the development of electropneumatic controls should be further developed as should continuing research into the development of disc and rail brakes.
