  2. Eddy current brake - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddy_current_brake

    The eddy current brake is unusable at low speeds, but can be used at high speeds for emergency braking and service braking. [1] The TSI (Technical Specifications for Interoperability) of the EU for trans-European high-speed rail recommends that all newly built high-speed lines should make the eddy current brake possible.

  3. Train noise - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Train_noise

    Several distinct sounds are created by various parts of the train, such as engines, traction motors, brakes, and the wheels rolling on the rails. Roughness and irregularities on the wheel and rail surfaces are a source of noise and vibration. Rail joints and squats on the rail cause a familiar "clickety-clack" sound as train wheels roll over them.

  4. Track brake - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Track_brake

    Until then, track brakes had only been used for streetcars and thus for speeds of up to 40 km/h (25 mph). At the beginning of 1930, the German Imperial Railways initiated a high-speed rail project that envisaged speeds of up to 160 km/h (99 mph) and was to be of great significance for the track brake.

  5. Dynamic braking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_braking

    The use of both braking systems at the same time is called blended braking. Li-ion batteries have also been used to store energy for use in bringing trains to a complete halt. [1] Although blended braking combines both dynamic and air braking, the resulting braking force is designed to be the same as the air brakes on their own provide.

  6. Braking distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braking_distance

    Braking distance refers to the distance a vehicle will travel from the point when its brakes are fully applied to when it comes to a complete stop. It is primarily affected by the original speed of the vehicle and the coefficient of friction between the tires and the road surface, [Note 1] and negligibly by the tires' rolling resistance and vehicle's air drag.

  7. Brake fade - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_fade

    Brake fade (or vehicle braking system fade) is the reduction in stopping power that can occur after repeated or sustained application of the brakes of a vehicle, especially in high load or high speed conditions. Brake fade can be a factor in any vehicle that uses a friction braking system including automobiles, trucks, motorcycles, airplanes ...

  8. Sudden unintended acceleration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudden_unintended_acceleration

    "Sudden acceleration incidents" (SAI) are defined for the purpose of this report as unintended, unexpected, high-power accelerations from a stationary position or a very low initial speed accompanied by an apparent loss of braking effectiveness. In a typical scenario, the incident begins at the moment of shifting to "Drive" or "Reverse" from ...

  9. Automobile handling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automobile_handling

    This type of spring is commonly used in road racing applications when ride quality is not a concern. A linear spring will behave the same at all times. This provides predictable handling characteristics during high speed cornering, acceleration and braking. Variable springs have low initial springs rates.
