Are you interested in improving the safety and efficiency of rail transportation?

Since 2010, the European Union Agency for Railways (ERA) has accepted the stochastic Monte Carlo method in principle as a viable option for calculating emergency braking curves. However, the method also offers considerable potential for modeling the mutual relationships within braking systems. If control loops of a system are integrated into the method, it can allow more precise calculation of braking curves, which means that the same level of emergency braking safety could be achieved.

Check out the last technical paper from for more: https://rail.knorr-bremse.com/en/de/stories/technical-articles/monte-carlo-analysis.json

By extending the Monte Carlo method, a precise calculation of the braking curves is possible. This has the potential for shorter train times & ATO.

Knorr-Bremse South Africa, through its subsidiary IFE, is pleased to announce that the door leaf for Passenger Rail Agency South Africa (PRASA) have exceeded the original local content requirement as designated by the Department of Trade Industry & Competition, having now reached over 90% local content. The physical door leaf and door mechanism are being locally manufactured at Knorr-Bremse South Africa’s facility in Kempton Park.
