A "pure electric braking system" is able to brake a railcar to standstill without friction braking by utilizing only the electric brakes. Our research group is realizing the benefits and investigating the possibility of an ideal braking system for electric railcars. This paper describes the principal system of pure electric braking tested on actual cars, test results collected from running the test, and long term revenue service and their evaluations. A series of test and revenue services have proven the system to have excellent high stability and high performance. This method of braking offers an efficient and low cost alternative aid to the modern day train braking system.
