TOOL FOR DEVELOPING BRAKING SYSTEMS FOR RAIL VEHICLES

摘要

The invention relates to a tool for developing braking systems for rail vehicles with a braking system which has multiple brakes, each brake generating a braking action in a different manner. The tool (10) comprises a reading device (12) which is capable of reading a configuration of a rail vehicle, said configuration comprising vehicle parameters and braking system parameters of the rail vehicle. Furthermore, the tool (10) has a simulation device (14) which is capable of simulating braking processes of the rail vehicle on the basis of the configuration taking into account braking condition parameters. A brake force distribution between the multiple brakes and a thermal load on brake components are taken into account in the simulation. The simulation device (14) is capable of providing results of the simulation as result data. Furthermore, the tool (10) has an output device (16) which is capable of providing an output on the basis of the result data. The invention further relates to a computer-readable storage medium with a corresponding program code and to a method for developing a braking system for a rail vehicle.
