METHOD OF FORECASTING TRAIN SPEED

A method of speed forecasting a train over a track including determining location of the train on the track, the speed of the train and brake and throttle setting of the train. Speeds and suggested throttle and brake settings for spaced points along the track are calculated based on the determinatio...

Summary:A method of speed forecasting a train over a track including determining location of the train on the track, the speed of the train and brake and throttle setting of the train. Speeds and suggested throttle and brake settings for spaced points along the track are calculated based on the determinations. The calculated speeds and throttle and brake setting are displayed for the spaced points along the track. L'invention concerne un procédé de prévision de la vitesse d'un train sur une voie ferrée, comportant les étapes consistant à déterminer la position du train sur la voie ferrée, la vitesse du train et des paramètres de freinage et d'accélération du train; à calculer des vitesses et des paramètres recommandés de freinage et d'accélération pour des points espacés le long de la voie ferrée en fonction des valeurs déterminées; et à afficher les vitesses et paramètres d'accélération et de freinage ainsi calculés pour les points espacés le long de la voie ferrée.
