German term or phrase: Ablösung
Rail braking system (I think)
e.g. Die Sandgabe beim Gleitvorgang wird bei v < v Ablösung unterbunden.

so I really need a single word in English.

also similarly e.g. Unterhalb von ca. 7km/h wird die E-Bremse durch die Federspeicherbremse (Stufe 1), die sich in den Triebdrehgestellen befindet, abgelöst (Haltebremse bis Stillstand).

Explanation:
