能够快速、安全、可靠地制动高速列车的制动系统对列车良好地以最高速度运行是必要的。市区内的有效运输需要有较高的减速能力，而新干线则需要轻型制动设备。高速城间列车甚至在钢轨潮湿的条件下也能有效地利用粘着作用缩短制动距离。制动必须能够保护列车不受那种象地震发生时高架铁路结构突然塌陷之害。本文着重阐述涉及粘着力、车轮滑行控制、轨道制动、液压制动、以及正在开发中的碳复合材料盘形制动技术。 Braking systems that brake high-speed trains quickly, safely and reliably are essential for good train operation at top speed. Effective transport in urban areas requires a high deceleration capability, while Shinkansen requires light braking equipment. High-speed intercity trains can effectively utilize sticking to shorten the braking distance even under wet rail conditions. Braking must be able to protect the train from the sudden collapse of the viaduct as the earthquake occurs. This article highlights the technologies involved in adhesion, wheel-slide control, orbital braking, hydraulic braking, and the ongoing development of carbon composite disc brake technology.
