Abstract
This article presents a comprehensive study devoted to substantiating the permissible pressure in a freight car brake cylinder depending on the axle load, taking into account the prevention of wheelset skidding during braking. Three methodological options for determining the maximum pressure are considered, differing in their approaches to accounting for the influence of travel speed on the calculated values of the wheel-rail adhesion coefficient and the friction coefficient of composite brake shoes. Particular attention is paid to the influence of the bogie unloading factor on the adhesion reserve. A comparative assessment shows that the approach that simultaneously considers the adhesion coefficient and friction coefficient provides the best balance between braking safety, resistance to skidding, and train control efficiency under real operating conditions.
