    摘要: A digital train brake testing and train preparation assistant uses a system, method, and computer program for determining a component parameter of a train. The system may include sensor nodes mounted to a respective part of the train, wherein the sensor nodes form a sensor network on a rail car, wherein railcars form a wireless mesh network, and wherein each of the sensor nodes is configured to collect data of the component of the respective part of the train and to publish the collected data into the wireless mesh network. The system may further include a server system configured to receive the published data of the wireless mesh network and to determine the component parameter of the train based on the received data. Furthermore, a user device for displaying a component parameter determined by a system, method, and computer program for determining a component parameter of a train is provided.

    摘要: The invention relates to an axle-mounted brake disk for a rail vehicle, comprising two friction rings which are arranged in parallel and at a distance from each other and are interconnected by a plurality of ribs extending in the direction of the rotational axis of the friction rings, where at least some of the ribs are embodied with different cross-sections from each other, where the cross-sections of a first subset of the ribs, embodied as supporting elements transmitting pressure forces, do not fall below a minimum cross-section, defined by the stability required in relation to the mechanical load during a brake process, and the cross-section of a second subset of the ribs, used to radiate thermal energy, falls below the minimum cross-section.
