Equipment has been developed that enables a locomotive engineer to observe the effects of his control actions on a train. The system is called the Train Dynamics Analyzer (TDA). By using a computerized mathematical model in conjunction with a locomotive control stand, the equipment presents information through typical conventional control stand indicators and gages and a CRT display. The display consists of a representation of the train as it moves along the track profile with grades, curves, mileposts, and town names; a plot of coupler forces and brake cylinder pressures throughout the train; average acceleration; simulation time; and head and remote locomotive throttle positions.
