Anti-Slide Device (Wheel-Slide Protection) Testing
This test covers specifications for anti-slide (wheel-slide protection) devices that prevent wheel locking and sliding during braking, maintaining adhesion between wheels and rails. These systems are critical for modern rail safety, reducing stopping distance, minimizing wheel flats and rail damage, and improving overall braking stability. The standard defines requirements for detection systems, control algorithms, and re-adhesion measures used in both passenger and freight applications. Accreditation for this test ensures that anti-slide systems function reliably across diverse weather conditions, track geometries, and operational scenarios, enabling safe rail transport.
What it measures
- Wheel-lock detection sensitivity and response time
- Brake pressure modulation and re-adhesion control
- System performance on various rail adhesion conditions
- Reliability under emergency and service braking
- Compatibility with dynamic braking systems
