Features: This book is revised based on the original college textbook Train Traction Calculation, according to the newly promulgated and implemented 1998 Train Traction Calculation Regulations. It concisely elaborates on the fundamental theories and calculation methods of "train traction." The main contents include: the generation and operational variation patterns of locomotive traction force, train running resistance, and braking force; calculation standards for locomotive traction force; calculation of train running resistance and braking force; solving train running time and braking problems; calculation and verification of traction weight and the formulation of traction capacity; calculation of locomotive energy consumption; as well as how to use computers for the above calculations. This book can serve as a textbook for transportation, transportation economics, and locomotive-related majors in railway universities, and is also available for reference and study by personnel from other fields such as track and signaling, as well as relevant departments.
