METHOD FOR ELECTRODYNAMICALLY BRAKING A RAIL VEHICLE

摘要

The invention relates to a method for electrodynamically braking a rail vehicle which is equipped with a drive, the acceleration of the rail vehicle being controlled as a function of its velocity. Until now, an electrodynamic brake was frequently not used right to the point where the rail vehicle comes to a standstill. Instead, an existing mechanical break has been used. The invention herein is based on permitting safe breaking to the point where the vehicle comes to a standstill, so that mechanical brake, which causes undesired jolts, is normally not used.
