Abstract
So far we have assumed that power is constant for each fuel supply rate, and hence that the applied acceleration is inversely proportional to the speed of the train. In this chapter we use a more general model of applied acceleration, and obtain results similar to those of the previous two chapters. The more general model can be used to describe tractive effort and dynamic braking curves such as those shown in Figure 2–1 and Figure 2–3.
