METHOD FOR CONTROLLING AIR BRAKE DEVICE

摘要

A control method for an aerodynamic brake device which can reduce a speed of a vehicle efficiently without affecting riding comfort or a vehicle is provided. A control method for an aerodynamic brake device 550 includes at least aerodynamic brake plates 301 to 308 provided in the front in the advancing direction H1 of a railway vehicle 100 from a center part of vehicles 201 to 208, driving portions 501 to 508 and a brake controller 500 for controlling advancing operations of the aerodynamic brake plates 301 to 308, and a speedometer 560 for detecting a speed of the railway vehicle 100. The aerodynamic brake device 550 controls the advancing operations of the aerodynamic brake plates 301 to 308 in accordance with the speed of the railway vehicle 100 by the speedometer 560.
