Title: ON THE BEHAVIOR OF LONG CUTS WITH UNEVEN LOAD AND AXLE DISTRIBUTION IN CLASSIFICATION YARDS
Accession Number: 00391579
Record Type: Component
Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: The behavior of long cuts being humped in classification yards is determined not only by rolling, curve, and wind resistance but also by load and axle distribution. Most retarder control algorithms keep cuts at a constant velocity notwithstanding rollability and cut makeup. This has been shown to cause simple and corner impacts. One method of overcoming such difficulties is continuous speed control combined with operative simulation of cut behavior shortly before humping when cut makeup is known.
