Abstract

Braking system is a very important element of any rolling stock unit, as transportation process safety depends on its efficiency and reliability. Rail buses represent development of diesel trains intended for passenger service on non-electrified track sections. A sudden obstacle on the track requires immediate full stop of the rolling stock, it is urgent to have effective braking which provides the least brake path length. The paper presents results of brake path length calculation for РА-3 rail bus in two-car version with iron and composite brake pads.
