A method for compensating for a loss of traction of a rail vehicle, preferably a freight locomotive, in a track curve, is particularly pertinent when the rail vehicle is starting up and/or is on an incline. Comparably unfavorable frictional conditions between a track and at least one driven track wheel of the rail vehicle are changed into comparably favorable frictional conditions by actively steering the track wheel on the rail.

Method for compensating for a loss of traction of a rail vehicle

A method for detecting a vibration of a driven axle system of a rail vehicle includes a sensor system detecting a parameter indicating the vibration of an element of the axle system and an evaluating unit evaluating a signal of the sensor system. In order to reliably detect the vibration of the driven axle system of the rail vehicle, the sensor system includes a motion sensor which detects a motion of the element as the parameter.

Method for detecting vibration in a rail vehicle

A method and an arrangement monitor a brake system of a brake arrangement of a rail vehicle. To carry out such a method comparatively cost-effectively and gently on the wheels and rails, the deceleration of the rail vehicle is detected with a deceleration measured variable being obtained and the frictional connection between the wheel and rail is detected with a frictional connection measured variable being obtained. In the event of a small deceleration measured variable and a normal frictional connection measured variable, an error message signal is generated. In a brake system with at least one brake actuator, the deceleration of the rail vehicle is detected with a deceleration measured variable being obtained and the brake force of the at least one brake actuator is measured. In the case of a small deceleration measured variable and a low brake force, an error message signal is generated.
