Abstract:

Existing freight car braking systems, components, and subsystems are characterized both physically and functionally, and life-cycle costs are examined. Potential improvements to existing systems previously proposed or available are identified and described in functional and economic terms. Innovative braking systems which offer a potential benefit are identified, described, and assessed for functional and economic characteristics. Potential improvements are divided into two categories: those which could be implemented in the short term (10 years) and those which could be implemented in the long term (20 years). Areas which need additional study are identified.
