Method for calculating a braking deceleration

When braking, a mean breaking deceleration (a) causes braking until stationary. The process calculates a lag time (to) for the application of the brakes, and a braking deceleration using the mean braking deceleration of the lag time and a typical stopping distance. An actual braking deceleration is calculated using the braking weight, train weight and length. Types of brakes can also be taken into account. From the actual braking deceleration (a') the braking curves can be calculated with which speed restrictions can be applied to the brakes. .
