Climatic Chamber Testing of Innovative Brake System for Rolling Stock

Abstract

In this paper is shown climatic chamber testing of an innovative brake system for rolling stock. Brake systems have the essential function of decelerating and stopping of rolling stock. As railway operators focus on the need for greater improvements in efficiency and safety, there is still a significant need for advancements in the brake systems. Since the brake systems are a subject of large static and dynamic loads in external conditions, lot of tests need to be performed to validate the function. In this paper will be shown one of the most important testing of the brake systems - climatic chamber testing.
