The choice of the optimal braking force on the wheelset, taking into account the imper-fection of antiskid devices by I. A. Zharov, S. B. Kurtsev, A. A. Makas

“…This allows to set the task of choosing the optimal braking force on the wheel pair by the criterion of minimizing losses due to the increase in braking distances.To formulate the optimization problem, it is necessary to relate the gain from the reduction of the braking distances with good adhesion and the loss from its increase with poor adhesion due to the imperfect operation of the antiskid devices. …”
