Braking forces occurring during emergency brake applications of passenger trains are generated by disc brake units. The acting friction forces depend on the frictional properties between disc and brake pad and are influenced by relative velocity, temperatures and normal pressure of the contacting surfaces. In this work a mathematical model is developed which aims to link these influencing variables to the instantaneous acting friction coefficient in order to include the characteristic behavior of friction forces in the calculation of longitudinal dynamics of railway vehicles. The model is identified by the use of data recorded on a full-scale dynamometer test rig and verified regarding the estimation of the brake distance.
