SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING THE EFFICIENCY OF THE BRAKE PAD IN A BRAKE ASSEMBLY OF A TRAIN DURING THE TRAIN OPERATION

摘要

system and method for determining the brake pad efficiency of a train brake assembly during train operation the present invention relates to a system for determining the brake pad efficiency of a train brake assembly during the operation of the train including at least one braking database (12) including braking data (14) and at least one train database (16) including train data (18). a control system (20) is in communication with at least one brake database (12) and at least one train database (16) and the control system (20) dynamically determines the efficiency data ( 22) brake pad (bs) based on braking data (14) and train data (18), where the efficiency data (22) of brake pad (bs) includes the skill of the brake pad slow the train down to a specified level.
