摘　　要：Brakes in railway trains have a variety of forms such as air brake,eddy current brake and aerodynamic brake.Their primary functions areto slow down and stoptrains,so asto ensure safe and efficient train movement.Brakes are indispensable and safety-critical systems for all types of railway trains including passenger(high-speed,metro,tram,etc.)and freight(heavy-haul,intermodal,etc.)trains.Safe and efficient railway operations require a good understanding of brakes from various parties including drivers,maintenance crews,manufacturers,and design engineers.Research helps to expand and deepen the knowledge about railway train brakes.Brake modelling and simulation date back to the pre-digital age.However,it remains a challenging topic to today due to many reasons including their nonlinear dynamic nature,complex devices,and the limits regarding parameter determination.
