Abstract: The paper gives a brief review of development of the braking system of railway vehicles. At the end of the nineteenth and the beginning of the twentieth century, the development of the concept of the drive of the railway vehicles has completed. After the steam, both electric and diesel traction have developed. For further development of railway traffic, it was necessary to develop a more efficient braking system. After the official start of railway traffic, it took almost a hundred years to development the braking system that allows faster and safer movement of railway vehicles. The credit for that belongs Serbian inventor, Eng. Dobrivoje Božić. In an original way, he constructed the brake which solved many problems that until then had been a limiting factor for faster and safer movement of railway vehicles. The aim of this paper is to bring the ingenious technical achievements of Dobrivoje Božić in the field of braking of railway vehicles closer to the scientific and professional public.
