Discussion of technical considerations for individual factors, particularly their application to Indian Railway conditions, where all freight stock and bulk of passenger stock is automatic vacuum brake equipped; method for rational assessment of braking distances taking into consideration characteristics of automatic vacuum brake was developed; it makes it possible to evaluate time delay in development of full brake power after brake application has been initiated at driver's cab; distance traversed with full brake power before coming to stop can be computed.
