The invention relates to a method and to a system for putting into service a brake system having specified approval prerequisites, in particular wherein the brake system is a pneumatic and/or hydraulic braking system, in particular a pneumatic and/or hydraulic braking system of a rail vehicle, wherein the control data set for the brake system is set on the basis of a real reference operation and a virtual test operation in such a way that the specified approval prerequisites are achieved.

Method for putting into operation a brake system with predefined approval specifications and system for putting into operation a brake system with predefined approval specifications

The invention relates to a rail vehicle brake system comprising a conditioning device, having at least one disc brake per axle, the conditioning device having a control device. The conditioning device is formed having at least one wagon control unit and at least one coupling unit for selective actuation of the at least one disc brake per axle. The invention further relates to a conditioning device and to a method for operating a conditioning device, and to a method for deicing and/or for preventing icing of a brake unit of a rail vehicle brake system.

Rail vehicle brake system having a conditioning device, conditioning device, method for operating a conditioning device, and method for deicing and/or for preventing icing of a brake unit of a rail vehicle brake system

A rail vehicle braking system includes at least one disk brake associated with a wheel or a wheel set, wherein the disk brake includes at least one brake disk, at least one brake lining which engages with the brake disk, at least one application device exerting an application force on the at least one brake lining during a braking operation, and a control device for controlling the application device, wherein the control device is coupled to a determination unit for determining a current wheel diameter of the wheel or of the wheel set, wherein the control unit is configured such that, when a predetermined application force is actuated during braking operation, a value of the current wheel diameter detected by the determination unit is taken into account.

Rail vehicle braking system and method for operating a rail vehicle braking system

A method for the operation of a brake control system for a rail vehicle that includes a brake system that has at least partially one friction brake, includes determining at least one characteristic curve using at least one virtual and/or at least one actual reference braking journey of the rail vehicle, which characteristic curve sets at least one control variable for maintaining at least one performance variable in relation to one another, recording the characteristic curve in the brake control system; and using the characteristic curve functioning as a basis for controlling the brake system of the rail vehicle. Furthermore, a brake control system, a brake system, and a rail vehicle are provided.

Method for operating a brake control system for a rail vehicle comprising a brake system, brake control system, brake system, and rail vehicle

A method controls a compressed-air braking device of a rail vehicle in the case of automatic, quick, or emergency braking, said compressed-air braking device having a controlled electropneumatic braking device having brake pressure control, an uncontrolled brake pressure control device for producing an uncontrolled brake pressure, and at least one pneumatic brake actuator. In response to a signal to trigger automatic, quick, or emergency braking, the controlled electropneumatic braking device and the uncontrolled brake pressure control device are activated simultaneously and a first value for the brake pressure produced by the controlled electropneumatic braking device or a first value for a pilot control pressure representing the brake pressure and a second value for the brake pressure produced by the uncontrolled brake pressure control device or a second value for a pilot control pressure representing the brake pressure are compared with each other.
