ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for simulating operation and control of a railway train having at least one locomotive in a locomotive set and a plurality of articulated cars. A simulator control station including a train speed control throttle and a train braking controller provides signals related to the degree of operation of the throttle and braking controller.
Information relating to car consist, track profile and simulated train location for a predetermined section of track are provided together with data related to the simulated locomotive tractive effort and train braking. Coupling forces between each car throughout the extent of the train are calculated from the data and displayed at the simulator control station to enable a simulator control station operator to control the throttle and braking controller in response to the displayed coupling forces and thereby simulate operation and control of the train. Brake pressure distribution along the length of the train is also displayed.
