Brake trains

Under modern conditions a further increase in traffic would be achieved at the most congested on the boards at the expense of indigenous technological development, the major components of which is to increase the speed, weight and length of freight and passenger trains. Typically, to increase the speed of movement increases the efficiency of the brake means of composite brake blocks, and the passenger rolling stock - and even speed regulating pressing iron pads, disc brakes and magnitorelsovyh, gas mask devices.

Given the climatic conditions and operational characteristics of rolling stock design implemented maximum level of effectiveness of the braking means is almost the limit.

The most important task - to achieve high level of speed in comparison with today without changing the length of the block sites and permutation of travel of traffic lights, first of all passenger trains. The speed of freight trains is limited to the work of the axle box with sliding bearings and the presence in the park with cars starotipnymi trolleys.

Technological and organizational measures to achieve maximum speed of freight trains are most effective for the United and train with the dispersed to the length of the locomotives that have implemented the speed by 5-20 mph below the maximum allowable level for conventional trains with a thrust to the head.
