Abstract
In general, the braking system of high speed train has an important role for the safety of the train. To stop the train safely at its pre-decided position, it is necessary to combine the various brakes properly. The Korean high speed train (HSR-350x) has adopted a combined electrical and mechanical (friction) braking system. In this study, the measuring method that can obtain the disc braking forces and friction coefficient between disc and pad during on-line test of HSR-350x has been suggested and verified through the comparison of the results obtained from this method and those of the results of the dynamo-tests.
