The impact of operational strategies and new technologies on railroad capacity
… are expected to face increasing capacity constraints due to substantial, expected long-term growth in traffic. In order to meet this forecasted demand railroads must efficiently use existing capacity and effectively plan new capacity. Infrastructure to provide this capacity is …

Dynamic Braking Control for Accurate Train Braking Distance Estimation under Different Operating Conditions
The application of Model Reference Adaptive Control (MRAC) for train dynamic braking is investigated in order to control dynamic braking forces while remaining within the allowable adhesion and coupler forces. This control method can accurately determine the train braking distance. One of the …
