    The document provides three problems related to calculating train speed and timing parameters given acceleration, deceleration, distance and time constraints. The first problem asks to calculate the duration of acceleration, coasting and braking periods for a train traveling 1.6 km at an average speed of 36 km/h with a maximum speed of 72 km/h and specified acceleration and deceleration rates. The second problem involves determining the schedule speed for an electric train accelerating at 0.8 km/h/s, braking at 3.2 km/h/s, with a maximum to average speed ratio of 1.3 over 1.5 km in 26 seconds. The third problem asks about the main features of different train services and which services

    Assignment 2

    A train runs between two stations 1.6 km apart at an average speed of 36 km/h. If
    the maximum speed is limited to be 72 km/h, acceleration to 2.7 km/h/s, coasting
    retardation to 0.18 km/h/s and breaking retardation to 3.2 km/h/s, compute duration
    of acceleration, coasting and breaking periods. Assume a simplified speed time
    curve.

    1. From the simplified speed- time curve, determine the maximum speed, when
    the actual time of run, values of acceleration, retardation and the distance
    between stops are given.

    2. An electric train is to have acceleration and breaking retardation of 0.8


    Km/h/s and 3.2 Km/h/s respectively. If the ratio of maximum to average
    speed is 1.3 and time for stops 26 seconds, find schedule speed for a run of
    1.5 km. Assume simplified trapezoidal speed-time curve

    3. Discuss the main features of various train services. What type of train
    services corresponds to trapezoidal and quadrilateral speed time curves?
