Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a control device for a dispensing device for coefficient of friction modifiers for a rail vehicle and a method for controlling a dispensing device for coefficient of friction modifiers for a rail vehicle.
  • the effect of a brake or a drive device depends crucially on the frictional connection between the wheels and the rail, because a drive force or braking force is transmitted to the rail via the wheels.
  • a parameter referred to as the adhesion coefficient or adhesion coefficient determines the amount of braking force or driving force that can be transferred to the rail. If more force is exerted on a wheel to brake or accelerate the rail vehicle than can be absorbed via the wheel-rail contact according to a prevailing frictional connection, this can lead to the wheel sliding, skidding or locking, which is an undesirable condition.
  • the frictional connection between a wheel and a rail depends heavily on the friction conditions between the wheel and the rail.
  • rail vehicles can be equipped with particle scattering systems, by means of which, for example, sand can be spread onto a rail as grit. The sand can improve the adhesion between wheel and rail, and thus the frictional connection.
  • stationary and vehicle-based systems for applying the coefficient of friction modifier.
  • friction pastes that are applied to the rail are mostly used.
  • Vehicle-based systems are mostly scattering systems that scatter a granular medium (for example sand made of quartz or feldspar) onto the rail or directly into the wheel-rail gap.

  • a path-dependent delivery rate can also be defined in an equivalent manner.
  • the DE 10 2011 113 085 A1 discloses a particle scattering system for a rail vehicle.
