The past three years has seen the main influx of microprocessor based equipment the vital traction control field. British Rail now have the classes 90, 91 and 319 locomotives/multiple units with processor driven thyristor DC drives and the second-generation push-pull equipment in service, and the three-phase drive under development with the class 60 about to enter service. The author examines the past, present and future prospects of microprocessor-based traction control from the viewpoint of British Rail experiences.
