Abstract

Recently, the eddy current braking system has an advantage as the high speed railway train is developed. Because it is independent on wheel-rail coefficient of adhesion and it can be used in adverse weather conditions by reason of non-acting on wheels. In this paper we designed down-scaled eddy current brake model and developed control algorithm to generate constant braking torque. Our algorithm is verified through experiments to generate constant torque.
