This paper deals with the railway air brake simulation by using empirical equations. These empirical equations have been developed from an analysis of predictions of theoretical brake models. They are simple and can be used for quick predictions as the number of computations has come down drastically. Various non-dimensional quantities have been used which make it a general approach.
