RAILSIM Safe Braking Distance Add-On supports calculations for
multiple-stage runs.
Each stage is user-defined, including its duration and type of
tractive and braking effort curves used.
RAILSIM's Safe Braking Distance
Calculation Add-On calculates safe braking distances for "worst case"
signal design purposes. Like the Headway Add-On, the Safe Braking
Distance Add-On can be used from either RAILSIM Editor or from RAILSIM TPC. It can analyze any number of defined train
types from any number of
Signal/IJ/Bond Locations, using these powerful features:
- Both Forward and Reverse safe
braking distance processing;
- Processing of single or multiple
stages in a single run (Free Running for 3 seconds, followed by
Coast for 8 seconds, followed by Braking to a Stop, for example);
- User-specified train compositions,
including testing of multiple train lengths;
- User-specified settings and
parameters, including Rear Wheel to Coupler Overhang distance, ATC
Receiver/Trip Cock Setback, and a buffer distance (typically the
positional accuracy uncertainty);
- Processing of multiple velocities
for a single location,
- Adjustment factors for reducing
curves and for all braking curves.
When accessed from RAILSIM Editor, this
Add-On lets you generate an engineering drawing in CAD DXF file format
in addition to the traditional RAILSIM Safe Braking Distance Report.
