Experiment on Static Characteristics of the Braking Signal Transmitter

Abstract

The braking signal transmitter is a major component of the EBS. The structure and working principle of a braking signal transmitter were introduced. The test bed of the braking signal transmitter was designed and built. The static characteristics of the braking signal transmitter were obtained by analyzing the test data. The inflection points and the slope of each segment curve obtained by the bed test are basically identical to the static characteristic calibration curve. The pressure does not reach the maximum pressure of the static characteristic calibration curve because the gas source pressure does not reach the required test pressure. Keywords: Braking signal transmitter, EBS, static characteristics, bed test.
