THE STUDY OF SLIDE CONTROL SYSTEM AT HIGH SPEED RUNNING

For successful operation of high-speed Shin Kansen trains in regions of heavy snowfall, Japanese National Railways has been investigating methods for improving utilization of available adhesion. An improved wheel slide control system and detector are described. Inconclusive work to date has dealt with a control system which will reestablish adhesion as fast as possible with the smallest decrease in brake force. A new approach would establish available adhesion and limit brakeforce to that limit.
