Abstract
A method and device monitor and influence the thermal state of a friction brake system of a rail vehicle on the basis of a calculated or estimated predictive friction element temperature of at least one friction element of the friction brake system. The method detects at least one parameter which characterizes the current driving operation situation of the rail vehicle; calculates, estimates, or determines a first temperature component of the predictive friction element temperature based on the current driving operation situation of the rail vehicle; and takes into consideration a first temperature component while monitoring and influencing the thermal state of the friction brake system.
