Abstract

Modern locomotives are more powerful and
reaches higher speeds. With these parameters increasing it
is connected a problem with transmission of the tractive
effort between vehicle wheels and rails. The maximum value
of the transmitted force depends on value of the wheel slip
velocity and its type of control. In the paper problem of the
force transmission and some used control methods are
briefly described. The simulation in Matlab/Simulink is also
one of the described methods.
