A method for monitoring and diagnosing components of a rail vehicle, as a singular rail vehicle or as part of a rail vehicle train consisting of a plurality of rail vehicles, with regard to the necessary repair or maintenance, as appropriate, of at least one component, in which at least one measuring device captures at least one measurement variable, which is relevant to an assessment of a necessary repair or maintenance, as appropriate, of the component, is performed in which supplementation, extension, modification or adaptation of evaluation software implemented in an evaluation device is performed based on instructions, data and/or software modules sent from a control center to the evaluation device.

Method for monitoring and diagnosing components of a rail vehicle by means of an extensible evaluation software

A brake control device for a brake system of a rail vehicle, wherein the brake control device detects strain during a braking process on at least one friction brake device actuated during the braking process, the brake control device further stores wear data based on the detected strain in a memory device. Also disclosed is a brake system for a rail vehicle having such a brake control device, a rail vehicle having such a brake system and/or such a brake control device, and a method for operating a brake control device for a brake system of a rail vehicle.

A brake system of a rail vehicle, having at least one brake actuator with at least one brake disk and at least one brake lining, which interacts with the brake disk, for generating a braking force. Also disclosed is a sensor device to measure the time profile of at least one variable, representing fluctuations in the friction conditions between the wheel or wheel set assigned to the brake actuator and the rail and/or between the brake disk assigned to the brake actuator and the at least one brake lining, and to output a signal dependent on the measured variable to a control device which adapts the braking force generated by the brake actuator as a function of the deviation of the time profile of the measured variable from a predefined or expected time profile of the variable.

A method monitors at least one system parameter which influences an operating property of vehicles or trains of vehicles, using an adaptable theoretical model which generates a theoretical behavior of a vehicle or train of vehicles from operating data of the vehicle or train of vehicles. The method includes determination of a real behavior of a vehicle or train of vehicles from operating data such as acceleration and/or deceleration of the vehicle or of the train of vehicles, comparison of the real behavior of the vehicle or train of vehicles with the theoretical behavior of the vehicle or train of vehicles, and monitoring of the system parameter by the theoretical model if the theoretical behavior of the vehicle or train of vehicles corresponds to the real behavior of the vehicle or train of vehicles.
