Braking System - Railway Engineering: Track and Train Interaction | Online Course
Channel: TU Delft Online Learning
Date: 2019-02-28

Braking systems: In this hour, the function and construction of braking systems, and types of brakes will be explained. The influence of braking on vehicle performance such as braking distance will be discussed as well. Obviously, accelerating requires substantial amounts of energy. Later, when braking, this energy can be re-generated and re-used in the train or elsewhere. The principles of the re-use of braking energy will be explained here.
