Abstract
A method of controlling braking of a train that includes obtaining in an on-board computer of the train a brake propagation delay time (T.sub.d), a brake build-up time (T) and a maximum brake rate (.alpha..sub.max) for the train, and controlling braking of the train in the on-board computer by generating one or more braking signals for the train using T.sub.d, T and .alpha..sub.max. Also, a methods of determining for a train a profile velocity to a target position of a selected target, selecting a most restrictive target from among a plurality of targets for a train, and determining a plurality of braking parameters for a train having a train consist, wherein the parameters include a brake propagation delay time (T.sub.d), a brake build-up time (T) and a maximum brake rate (.alpha..sub.max).
