Brake row

Brake address of Intercity - coaches of the DB AG . The braking ratio is calculated from the braking weights written on the car , from which the braking series is then determined.

Braking rows are defined braking conditions on Swiss railways and, together with the train row, determine the maximum speed of a train. This is dependent on the existing pre-signal distance and the inclination of the track and is used by the infrastructure company in the route tables disclosed.

In forming a coating is by the brake bill from the brake weight of the train (train weight) and the ground, first the braking ratio calculated as follows:

${\displaystyle {\mbox{Bremsverhältnis}}\ (\%)={\frac {\mbox{Bremsgewicht (t)}}{\mbox{Zuggewicht (t)}}}\cdot 100\ (\%)}$

The brake series is then determined from the braking ratio using the table below. It must be taken into account that the brake row is also dependent on the train row. The highest possible brake row of a train with train row A is therefore A115%.

Train row	Brake series in percent
Row of trains N	180	150
Row of trains R	180	150	135	125	115	105
Row A					115	105	95	85	80	75	70	65	60	50
Row D					115	105	95	85	80	75	70	65	60	50

If the value of a brake series is not reached, the next lower value must be used. For example, a braking ratio of 89% results in brake series A85% or D85%. The train series R is no longer an option for this train.
