The relationship between the braking system and the security of the high-speed trains was expounded, comparative analysis about the brake modes and the corresponding braking performance as well as reviews of their domestic and oversea applications was provided. Control modes of braking force in high-speed trains were introduced, and comparative analysis about their pros and cons was given out. Antiskid re-adhesion control technologies of the train were reviewed. Development trend of high-speed train braking technology was prospected at last.
