This Excel Spreadsheet enables the user to work out
whether signal braking distances are below or above a required 150% max braking
distance. By choosing the first caution to any given stop signal and utilising
the gradients in between the afore said signals, this spreadsheet will
calculate the braking distance and compare a figure with given braking
distances as shown in the Railtrack Group Standards,
Therefore, to
fully utilise this spreadsheet you will need.
Braking distance tables
from the Manual of Signalling Principles.
Scheme Plan/Diagram to
work out signal to signal distances.
Gradient information,
which usually will be on a scheme plan or see the good old gradient charts,
(Watch This Space!).
