You have no existing model data saved. Pick the model parameters and you can save the model after the results screen.

Train Sets Available in Database

Note that the acceleration is assumed to increase slowly and reaches the maximum level once the velocity reaches half of the maximum velocity.

Stations along the line

Provide the details of the stations including start and end stations.

Design speed is the maximum speed from the particular station to the next station or the next slow point. Even if the train can achieve a higher speed, the speed will be limited to the design speed in the calculations.

Station	Distance from Start	Stop Time	Design Speed
Station 1	m	sec	kmph
Station 2	m	sec	kmph
Station 3	m	sec	kmph
Station 4	m	sec	kmph

Slow down points along the line (curves, vertical gradients, etc.)

Provide the details of slow down points such as start and end of curves, steep vertical gradients that will require reduction in speeds, etc.

Slow Down	Slow Down Point Name	Location (Distance from Starting Terminal)	Length of Slow Section	Design Speed
Slow Down 1		m	m	kmph
Slow Down 2		m	m	kmph

Service Details

For each train service, provide a name, the train set used and the stations that the train stops at for that particular service. Use this to show skip-stop patterns or express services.

Use the adjustment factors for acceleration and deceleration to increase or reduce the default levels for the train-set.
