Brake Control Device For Railway Vehicle

Abstract: A brake control device (4) for a railway vehicle having a plurality of mechanical brake devices (5a to 5d) that obtain brake force by pressing a friction material against a rotating body that rotates while the railway vehicle is traveling, the brake control device controlling the mechanical brake devices, wherein the brake control device comprises: a target brake force calculation unit (42) that calculates a target brake force, which is a target value of the brake force outputted by the mechanical brake devices, so that the target brake force is equal among the mechanical brake devices; an output target value calculation unit (43) that, on the basis of the target brake force and for each of the mechanical brake devices, calculates an output target value, which is a target value of force with respect to an operation member that operates the friction material; and an equality adjustment unit (44) that acquires actual brake forces, which are brake forces detected by brake force detection units (6a to 6d) installed in the mechanical brake devices, and, when the actual brake forces are not equal, corrects the output target values so that the actual brake forces of the mechanical brake devices match the target brake force.
