Title: Josef Baier and Rail-Vehicle Braking Innovations.

Introduction

Josef Baier is an inventor based in Niederaichbach, Germany. His work includes rail-vehicle braking systems and methods, and he is associated with Knorr-Bremse Systeme für Schienenfahrzeuge GmbH. Baier is credited with 4 patents.

Latest Patents

Baier’s recent patent work addresses electromechanical braking for rail vehicles, with an emphasis on braking functions and braking paths.

One patent describes a brake system with a brake controller and an actuator. The controller’s first brake control unit provides braking functions and outputs a force manipulated variable, while its first actuator control unit generates an actuation variable. The actuator includes corresponding control units and a braking force unit that produces frictional braking force based on the actuation variable. The system provides first and second braking paths between control inputs and the generation of braking force.

Another patent presents a system and method using a brake control unit that outputs an actuation variable and a braking force unit that generates frictional braking force from it. It also describes two braking paths, each comprising braking functions active between the system’s control inputs and the generation of braking force.

Career Highlights

Baier’s listed inventions focus on electromechanical braking and the design of multiple braking paths for rail vehicles. These systems combine control functions with actuators and braking-force units to support the generation of frictional braking force.
