The selection of electric brake management scheme for urban rail vehicles directly affects the service life of brake shoe of the brake system. Choosing reasonable electric brake management scheme can greatly reduce the wear of brake shoe of brake system and prolong the service life of brake shoe. Firstly, the electric braking management scheme of urban rail vehicles at the present stage was introduced, and then a comparative analysis from two aspects of network transmission delay and pneumatic braking application was made. Finally, the data of existing projects was verified, and some application suggestions were put forward, that was,the electric braking management scheme for calculating the electric braking force by the traction system.
