Abstract: In the article, a study was conducted on improving the efficiency of braking systems in railway transport. Based on the information obtained regarding the maintenance of passenger cars, an analysis of brake equipment component failures was performed. Key trends and factors determining brake equipment component failures were identified from the collected statistical data for the reporting period. The main brake equipment components with the highest number of failures were highlighted. It was established that a significant portion of transport incidents due to brake failures in passenger cars occurs during operation, negatively impacting traffic safety. The collected data on the failures of electro-pneumatic distributors in passenger cars were systematized using the specialized software package "STATISTIKA". The research established that seasonal factors influence the total number of failures. A diagnostic system for the braking equipment of passenger trains was proposed to ensure traffic safety. The diagnostic system allows for the construction and analysis of mathematical models that describe the operational state of the braking equipment of passenger rolling stock as a whole. The diagnostic system enhances the reliability of brake operation, monitors air pressure in the brake line, ensures the inter-repair periods of passenger car components, and reduces the time required to detect failures both en route and during train stops. Recommendations for diagnosing the braking system of passenger trains were developed for continuous inspection and timely identification of failures. Their application will enable the prediction of the lifespan of pneumatic and electro-pneumatic system components in passenger cars, ensure the inter-repair operational periods of cars based on their current technical condition, and enhance traffic safety in railway transport.
