Draft Scope:
This guide provides methods and assumptions used in calculating the braking distances of rail transit vehicles. The methods encompass automatic train protection and signal system operation, propulsion and brake system operation, environmental conditions, operator interfaces, tolerances, and failure modes.
Draft Purpose:
The design of automatic train protection and signal systems for rail transit vehicles requires knowledge of braking distance. This guide provides methods of performing braking distance calculations.
