Generating and modeling of braking curve and the assessment of the quality of automatic stopping of the train

This paper presents the theory about generating the braking curve and the analysis of the influence of the braking controller parameters on the generation of the braking curve of the train. In this paper, computed examples of braking quality developed using generic quality factor are shown, and on the basis of the calculations, weight components of the factor and an additional criterion for assessing the quality of braking were proposed. It has been demonstrated that the developed algorithms can be used to verify the effectiveness of the braking controller and the adjustment of the terms, and the change of these algorithms affects the shape of the generated braking curve of the train. It has been shown that the analysis of a failure of the propulsion car revealed the existence of a safe braking area. The performed statistical analysis confirmed the normal distribution of the scatter of braking results, for which the regression model fitted.
