Compatibility of calculating methods of rolling-stock brakes
Santrauka
The foremost problem solved in this paper interoperability of various railway systems of Europe Union countries. The main object of research is to investigate the evaluating methods of rolling-stock's brakes and to assess the possibilities to integrate or harmonize these different methods. The reliability of evaluating methods of rolling-stock's brakes is one of the important components enabling the interoperability of the railway transport in EU network. The main parameter by TSI (Technical Specifications for Interoperability) methodology is braked mass and by MPS (rus. МПС - Министерство путей сообщения) method-brake shoes pressing force. The determining brake force of wagons and correcting of mean brake distance are presented. The compatibility of two different evaluating methods is discussed. Finally, the basic conclusions are given.
