Development of a Computer Simulation Model of a Passenger Train for Studying Traction and Energy Processes Based on Motion Parameter Recording Systems

tehnicheskogo obsluzhivaniya tormoznogo oborudovaniya i upravleniya tormozami zheleznodorozhnogo podvizhnogo sostava [Rules for Maintenance of Brake Equipment and Brake Control for Railway Rolling Stock], approved by the Council for Railway Transport of the CIS Member States, of regenerated energy to the overhead contact system. Dependencies of braking force on pressure in brake cylinders have been obtained for tread and disc brakes. Verification of the model was carried out by comparing simulation results with full-scale experimental data; it was established that the error in calculating speed, energy consumption and energy recovery does not exceed 2 %. Practical significance: the developed model can be used to analyze train handling patterns applied by locomotive crews and automated systems, assess energy efficiency, improve traffic safety and enhance the operation technologies of traction rolling stock.
