Pneumatic braking systems are widely used on rail vehicles. Anti-skid control systems are equipped to prevent wheels from locking and ensure braking distances in low adhesion conditions. To model and simulate an anti-skid pneumatic braking system, a concise modelling method was proposed. By dividing the pneumatic braking control unit into two parts, the complex model was simplified according to its working principle. The pneumatic model, kinematic model, adhesion force model and controller model were established and simulated with MATLAB/Simulink and AMESim. The results show that this method is suitable for anti-skid control modelling and simulation and can be used for controller development and verification.
