| Abstract;Caracas is the capital of Venezuela and is located in a basin of a mountain range. The titled train runs the route with continuous steep gradient of 2.4 % at the maximum and with many tunnels, at the maximum speed of 100 km/h. The car body is 25 m long and has a light stainless steel body structure which can withstand a car end compression load of 200 t (50 t is usual for the trains in Japan). It employs FRP for the ceiling and windows and carries two 28000 kcal/h air conditioning units on the roof with which the room temperature can be kept at 22.DEG.C. even with the ambient temperature at 40.DEG.C.. Regarding the brakes, regenerative brakes are used with priority, the deficiency is supplemented with the air brakes, and a trailer-priority delayed system is employed. The train is equipped with the service brakes, emergency brakes, parking brakes, and gradient starting brakes, and slide & skid detecting readhesion control is employed. This paper presents the functions of the brake equipment. |
