Calculating Train Braking Distance
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper discusses the development of an IBM PC based tool, for calculating train braking distances for various train classes on a rail network. There is discussion on current industry practice and the limitations of that practice, the concept of the tool itself, including the assumptions made, the strategy adopted to minimise the risk of incorrect calculations, and the results of adopting that strategy.

The Energy-Efficient Operation Problem of a Freight Train Considering Long-Distance Steep Downhill Sections
With the energy consumption rising in rail transport, the railway sector is showing increasing interest in the energy-efficient operation of freight trains. Freight trains require more complicated driving strategies than ordinary passenger trains do due to their heavy loads, especially in the long-distance steep downhill (LDSD) sections that are very common in freight rail lines in China. This ...
متن کاملStudy on Braking Panels in High Speed Trains Using CFD
With speed increasing in high-speed trains, due to limitations of other types of brakes, aerodynamic brake has become an important braking method. In this task to make better use of brake’s panel different configurations are examined and the best panel shape which provides the reasonable drag coefficient is introduced. The results of simulations are carried out with the computational fluid dyna...

1 Description of the Model We present a model of headway control in the railway domain, as depicted in Figure 1. In this case study, continuous distributions are used. The abstraction of a guarded command with a continuous probability distribution into one with a discrete probability distribution is described in a recent publication [1]. A more extensive description of the setting plus a closel...
متن کاملSimulation of Zigbee based Tacs for Collision Detection and Avoidance for Railway Traffic
A ZigBee based collision avoidance system for railways has been proposed in this paper. The Train Anti-Collision System (TACS) has four sub centers namely, Train Subsystem, Station/Control Center Subsystem, Signalling Post Subsystem and Level Crossing Subsystem. A safe distance of 1 Km has been given for braking between the trains in case of collision distance. Based on the studies, it has been...
