Slip characteristics computation - Computes adhesion limit using Curtius-Kniffler formula: 7.5 umax = --------------------- + 0.161 speed * 3.6 + 44.0 - Computes slip speed - Computes relative adhesion force as a result of slip characteristics: 2*K*umax^2*dV u = --------------------- umax^2*dv^2 + K^2

Parameters

slipSpeed

Difference between train speed and wheel speed MpS

speed

Current speed MpS

K

Slip speed correction. If is set K = 0 then K = 0.7 is used

conditions

Relative weather conditions, usually from 0.2 to 1.0

Adhesion2

Return Value

Relative force transmitted to the rail
