OPTIMUM HUMP-SHUNTING ON TO THE SORTING SIDES IN MARSHALLING YARDS

ABLAUFSTEUERUNG AUF OPTIMALES EINFADELN IN DIE RICHTUNGSGLEISE VON RANGIERBAHNHOFEN

In the case of the above method, it is necessary, in addition to the requirement to maintain the most satisfactory possible distances between wagons in the sorting area, for the intervals on any given hump to be identical, as compared with those of the front and rear wagons used for reference purposes, if the shunted wagon in question, or the one behind, is braked at the constant speed of release of the sorting-siding retarder. This method covers the hump-shunting of rakes of wagons having a length of up to 250 m, in addition to separate wagons.
