<b>An Evaluation Method of the Braking Performance Using Bogie Traction Force</b>

<b>Braking Force Estimation of Each Car</b>

“…As part of efforts for this problem, the following methodologies are tried out: determining one-wheel or one-axle braking force by measuring the forces acting on the brake shoe hanger in the foundation brake [1,2], and calculating one-bogie braking forces by focusing attention on the tractive force acting on a single link connecting the vehicle and the bogie [3].…”
