Load weight does not change EBD, because the weight is sensed andthe brake cylinder pressure is proportioned accordingly. Number of cars should not have any measurable effect because each car brakes equally, and the speed of transmission of the emergency application is very rapid owing to the emergency brake valve circuit. Grade absolutely affects EBD and is not compensated for by car equipment. The grade over a given stretch of track is a crucial element of wayside signal and trip design. |
