Patent

CA 2192151

Method and apparatus for monitoring brake performance and updating information relating to brake performance while a train is in motion. A computer on the train is provided with inputs for grade information, axle speed, brakepipe pressure, and locomotive tractive effort. During brake applications when the train is in motion, calculations are made by the computer to update parameters which relate to braking performance, and to generate signals representing those parameters.

Procédé et dispositif de contrôle de freinage et de mise à jour des paramètres de freinage d'un train en marche. Des données concernant la pente, la vitesse de rotation de l'essieu, la pression dans la conduite de frein et l'effort de traction de la locomotive sont entrées dans un ordinateur embarqué. Lorsque le frein est actionné, l'ordinateur calcule les nouveaux paramètres de freinage et génère des signaux correspondant à ces paramètres.
