Description
Summary:Modern railway braking plants are complex mechatronics systems that have to be optimized in the design phase and monitored for all the their remaining life, in order to ensure required levels of safety and integrity. In this work, after some more general considerations, the attention is concentrated on a procedure of validation of a tool aimed to the prediction of train braking performances.
