Locomotive Data Acquisition Package. Volume 5. Locomotive Analysis Software Package: User's Guide

摘要

The Locomotive Data Acquisition Package (LDAP) is a complete data acquisition system designed specifically for use on board railroad locomotives to study locomotive performance while in normal over-the-road operations. It is a semi-portable system requiring only limited installation support commonly found in railroad shops. The system may be applied to study energy conservation measures as well as train dynamics. This volume describes a Locomotive Analysis Software Package consisting of 12 software programs which may be used for data verification, data reduction, and analysis of data collected by the Locomotive Data Acquisition Package. Baseline data is provided to illustrate the use of the analytical software which has been developed. While the programming has been developed for use on a DEC PDP-11 computer the language and format is suited to use on other computer systems.
