If the tractive effort is much greater than what is required to haul the train, the wheels of the locomotive may slip. Tractive effort, acceleration and braking 1Tractive effort.pdf (Size: 211.61 KB / Downloads: 34) Context For a railway to operate efficiently and safely, its locomotives should be powerful enough to accelerate their trains rapidly to the maximum allowed line speed, and the We now have the speed (rpm) and the required tractive effort. It also compares the starting the nominal starting tractive effort when new and when wheels and cylinders are part worn (both of which result in an increase in TE). The main goal of the study is to change the tractive force of a TEP70 locomotive to be able to transport cargo in the Baltic region. F = μ t W = μ t m a g (1). Therefore, Tractive Effort was more important than HorsePower for steam locomotives. Tractive effort is influenced by the friction coefficient, which is the ratio of torque and wheel or axle load (mass). I don't think it is possible to use one chart to convert amps to tractive effort for several reasons. Power Range Calculations 1. Acceleration is a measure of how quickly you are gaining or losing speed. Or Tractive force is nothing but the net force present at wheels. /Rotate 0 Thanks << For an electric locomotive or a diesel-electric locomotive, starting tractive effort can be calculated from the amount of weight on the driving wheels (which may be less than the total locomotive weight in some cases), combined stall torque of the traction motors, the gear ratio between the traction motors and axles, and driving wheel diameter. 22 and 23, tractive force in a steady state is measured using a warping gauge. /Length 2221 where . Train resistance and tractive effort are both measurements of force (typically in pounds in North America) so we can simply overlay the curves How do we relate tractive effort curves to train resistance? termininb nominal tractive effort is that they do rnot indicate the type of soil on which the nominal tractive effort of a tractor must be determined. The maximum permissible traction force that can be applied to the wheels is governed by two things: the weight of the vehicle and the adhesion coefficient between the tire and the road surface. 16 0 obj << /Linearized 1 /O 18 /H [ 762 247 ] /L 35864 /E 23518 /N 3 /T 35426 >> endobj xref 16 17 0000000016 00000 n 0000000687 00000 n 0000001009 00000 n 0000001163 00000 n 0000001288 00000 n 0000002146 00000 n 0000002945 00000 n 0000003301 00000 n 0000003790 00000 n 0000004072 00000 n 0000004870 00000 n 0000008284 00000 n 0000013801 00000 n 0000013879 00000 n 0000022316 00000 n 0000000762 00000 n 0000000988 00000 n trailer << /Size 33 /Info 15 0 R /Root 17 0 R /Prev 35416 /ID[<3852730f8a6f5b4c84cf6df99c50fad5><3852730f8a6f5b4c84cf6df99c50fad5>] >> startxref 0 %%EOF 17 0 obj << /Type /Catalog /Pages 14 0 R /PageLabels 13 0 R >> endobj 31 0 obj << /S 93 /L 152 /Filter /FlateDecode /Length 32 0 R >> stream x��Xے۸}�W�q\1$E�������æ6.e�*5/ ��H�&Hi�+���K���4.����\5�@ �}���f�f��;��,�.Y�a���X�j����U�r�+v�>�f��7�!fI�v�Y�b�K�=�e�z���c��>���㑄%��$]��*�g�(�ϼ�g����[v��]����~�[���۸�[����گw��0ن��磝�Jq�������-��[J�t��+a��FB���͊�ӥ��cͿ�c�>�\��W��ٰ�U�~ne]cY6��W�����EЪ]�'��hD����^*��g�c�y��� The tractive effort of a rail vehicle is a physical feature which is highly relevant in the acceptance procedure of a new vehicle as well as in the calculation of its life cycle cost.

A huge amount of data, not just about the gearbox, can be derived from it. Tractive Effort (TE) and Tractive Resistance (TR) Tractive effort (TE): If the rear wheels of the vehicle in the figure are driven with no slip taking place between the tires and the level road surface, the wheel force or the tractive effort (TE) is equal to the torque at the driven wheels (T w) divided by the rolling radius or effective radius (R w) F = traction effort or force acting on the wheel from the surface (N, lb f). The last step is to calculate the axle torque required to generate this tractive effort. As with “power”, there are different methods of measuring tractive effort: Drawbar tractive effort – the force applied by a locomotive to the connection to its train. U�L�ͣ�xah��6/ neous tractive forces and the speed of vehicle, the trac-tive power required at wheels is calculated as Tractivepower, P t =F t3y ð3Þ Then, the motor power is calculated from the trac-tive power using Motorpower,P m = P t h t; P t50 ð4Þ Motorpower,P m =P t3h t; P t \0 ð5Þ where h t is the transmission efficiency. /ProcSet 4 0 R >> /Fcpdf2 19 0 R %zG_���J���#s6�dR L�s For steam locomotives, Tractive Effort was usually the limitting factor in the size of the train it could pull. 5 0 obj >> TTE [lb] = RR [lb] + GR [lb] + FA [lb] /CropBox [0 0 595 842] 3 0 obj Traction: The ability of the drive wheel to transmit this effort without slipping is known as traction.

The answer is no. Power and traction force Maximum tractive effort on starting as a result of the coefficient of static friction. There are various tractive effort curves available for different locomotives for different speeds, which enable the computation of the value of tractive effort. In [11], [12], also from the derivative of the estimated tractive force based on the disturbance observer, the anti-slip control was proposed. When maximum vehicle tractive effort and maximum vehicle speed in the normal working range are specified, the vehicle power range can be calculated using the following formula: (See Fig. /Font << Tractive force is reported to go from increasing to decreasing at a certain slip velocity, though there are no studies that measure this using a chaos observer in transient states that can be reproduced [1–3, 22, 23, 26]. /Type /Outlines /Parent 3 0 R The equation to calculate tractive effort is: TE = effective machine weight x adhesion coefficient. 1 0 obj Gradient Possible acceleration /Filter /FlateDecode %PDF-1.3 %���� STE is the amount of tractive effort that must be produced by the motive power to start moving a train from a dead stop without slipping the wheels.

Calculation of tractive effort and reactions for different drives Introduction: Tractive effort: The force available at the contact between the drive wheel tyres and road is known as tractive effort. Tractive force or tractive effort or traction is the force applied between the tire and road surface to move a car or any vehicle for that matter. (On higher speed vehicles friction in drive components may warrant the addition of 10%-15% to the total tractive effort to ensure acceptable vehicle performance.) The Total Tractive Effort (TTE) is the sum of the forces calculated in steps 1, 2, and 3. In other words, it is the sum of the tractive force and rolling effort on the road surface. tractive effort curve then a vertical boundary can be add to the set of curves which will intersect this curve. The backbone of train simulation physics is the simple equation, F=MA (Force = Mass x Acceleration). >> Train resistance and tractive effort are both measurements of force (typically in pounds in North America) so we can simply overlay the curves How do we relate tractive effort curves to train resistance?

[/PDF /Text /ImageB /ImageC ] Tractive Effort is a measure of the force that a locomotive can apply to the train it is pulling. /Count 0 H��W�r�8��^�������( endobj A: About 58 mph. $���>4u�����c�T�~�h�Y� `V7d@]�mQQM�T���������|n��������'�&ۨ{�4Qo��(4T�W.��F\h�5��J�3E\Ɛ?SK��a`5HD����Q ��)�d�k�L������j֛ p�Z��M�v�9l�vHz��Л���u��ڋ9��s�2d�y�=�9���4i���.�Բ彘gptN�|B4=�h{/��9��'e�RZ��ژ�e��~m�b?�GK�����̒�p}���5b��[�n��J|p�`�}ƽv�����G��/�#Z�h�\���F �@�f�8M�%��!���l��n$i��(�|�����7>H�@�� ���ް1�'��ȦJ�#ݐ&�,F��k��6�}j�GteF6��iIeDq��PC ];�|C%��y7�g�l3;9�3��I���{@�M%���hU�L@�FId��բ=��X�Y�e�����ɐ���7�L��8�.2�i~?l_���q��-E�@�$�V��pT%�4�e�^@(yD�SG���r^�c��i����n����2����WE�4G3P:�,%����d��Ĉ l5��4��p5B;�SL�V��:�q2Ua��i�b3��e�>�o��K�o�����hU�hMۼ�Ap�C^�o����Q�. In order to simplify the calculation, the road angle a, is usually replaced by the grade value, when the road angle is … TRACTIVE EFFORT CALCULATIONS. endobj tractive coefficient was calculated, and the maximum tractive force control was proposed. The tractive effort required to move a train consists of numerous factors, but for most applications only four need to be considered. μ t = traction - or friction - coefficient between the wheel and the surface. << Tractive effort, acceleration and braking. Tractive effort is generally equal to or a little greater than the hauling capacity of the locomotive. A unit's nominal continuous tractive effort is the tractive effort that the equipment manufacturer has determined that the unit can be relied upon to produce under most operating conditions. Tractive effort curves have proven their use far away. Consequently, generating reliable measurements of a rail vehicle’s tractive force at reasonable cost is an important task in the Research and Technology Centre of the DB AG. Tractive efforts is defined as the tractive force of a vehicle exerts on a surface or the amount of tractive force is parallel to the direction of motor. /Fcpdf0 17 0 R (15) 100 lbs x 2.5 inches = 250 in lbs of torque Our last step is to calculate the approximate horsepower required to generate this torque at this speed. Tractive effort When applying ground drive to a vehicle, it is important to consider the maximum tractive effort that can be transmitted from the wheels to the ground through friction.
