A train air brake force model: Locomotive automatic brake valve and brake pipe flow formulations

Last updated on 08 August 2014 3:08

The goal of this study is to integrate an air brake model with efficient algorithms for train longitudinal force calculation that are based on trajectory coordinate formulations. The air brake model, developed in this investigation and presented in this paper and a companion paper, consists of the locomotive automatic brake...
