The Application Status of Unit Brakes on Metro Vehicles in China
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Mechanical and Civil Engineering (IOSR-JMCE) - Year 2018, Vol 15, Issue 3
Abstract
With the increasing speed of urbanization in China, the demand of urban rail transit construction is growing. Metro vehicle as the mainstay of urban rail transit has been in rapid development. The increasing speed of the vehicle has put forward higher requirements on the braking technology of metro vehicles. Firstly, the main braking methods and their application in metro vehicles are introduced. Secondly, from the two aspects of tread brake and disc brake, combined with typical unit brakes, the characteristics are analyzed. Finally, the problems which existing in the braking technology of the metro vehicle in China, such as too large tread wear, frequent slide failures, and poor interchangeability of the brake, are analyzed and some suggestions are put forward.
