Method for Influencing the Kinematic Behavior of a Vehicle

摘要

A method for influencing the kinematic behavior of a vehicle, in particular a rail vehicle with at least one friction brake system, wherein a brake effect is generated by pressing at least one first and second friction elements against each other, where to achieve advantageous method conditions, temperatures of at least the first friction element are calculated from at least speed, brake pressure, external temperature of the vehicle and absolute times, and heat conduction through the first friction element and a speed-dependent cooling process of the first friction element are taken into consideration during the calculation, and where the kinematic behavior of the vehicle is influenced based on the calculation such that expensive fitting of the friction brake system with sensors for measuring friction element temperatures can be advantageously omitted, and the thermal state of the friction brake system can still be estimated with a high degree of precision.
