attributes
- brakeType
- This names the type of brake producing the brake effort. According to the way of controlling the brake application one of the following can be selected:
- none - no brake at all
- compressedAir - (pneumatic) brake system using compressed air in the control pipe (Druckluftbremse)
- vacuum - brake system using using vacuum in the control pipe (Saugluftbremse)
- handBrake - manually applied brake by turning a handle or a lever which operates a gear/rod assembly with brake shoes (Handbremse)
- parkingBrake - mainly spring applied brake used to keep a parking vehicle stationary (Feststellbremse)
- cableBrake - brake applied by a cable running along the train (Seilzugbremse, z.B. Bauart Heberlein)
- other - brake applied by any other mechanism
- This names the type of brake producing the brake effort. According to the way of controlling the brake application one of the following can be selected:
- airBrakeApplicationPosition
- This is the setting for the air brake application defining the time span for activation. One of the following can be selected:
- N/A - not applicable as brakeType is not compressedAir
- G - slow activation, typical for freight trains or Merchandises
- P - fast activation, typical for passenger trains with speed up to 120 km/h
- R - rapid activation, typical for passenger trains with higher speed
- This is the setting for the air brake application defining the time span for activation. One of the following can be selected:
- regularBrakeMass
- This is the brake mass in metrical tons for normal brake operations of none-automatic brakes.
- emergencyBrakeMass
- This is the brake mass in metrical tons for emergency brake operations of none-automatic brakes. It differs from regular brake mass depending on auxiliary brakes.
- maxDeceleration
- This is the alternative specification of maximum possible momentary deceleration in metres per square second. Typically this value is achieved near standstill.
- meanDeceleration
- This is the alternative specification of effective mean deceleration of a whole brake operation in metres per square second.
