Study of the kinematic characteristics of the motion of the car from the top to the design point

Abstract

Objective: to describe the speed of the car at each section of the descent part of the hump using the principles of classical mechanics; to get a generalized model of the speed of movement of the car at the estimated point of the hump, which allows speeding up the process of building graphs and changing the kinematic characteristics of the car’s movement; to present the change in the instantaneous speed of movement of the car along the entire length of the descent part of the hump in the form of a graph of the step function. The resulting model allows quickly analyzing the mode of shunting cars from the humps, the combination of power of brake positions and improve the accuracy of determining the permissible velocity of impact of cars in the sorting yards. This paper is the most important step for solving a promising task of designing an automated system for calculating the dynamic characteristics of a car in a hump yard.
