Abstract
A device for controlling the braking of a wheel train is disclosed and includes an actuating mechanism for alternating actuating symmetrically disposed groups of wheel brakes, temperature sensors disposed or at least one wheel brake in each of the groups of wheel brakes with the control mechanism actuating the coolest group of wheel brakes several times when the temperature difference between the groups of wheel brakes reaches a threshold temperature difference and for actuating the groups of wheel brakes cyclically so long as the threshold temperature difference is not reached.
