These parts are typically managed on-sight, i.e. with no signalling and train protection systems ensuring the freedom of movement. This is possible due to the rather short braking distances of individual vehicles and shunting consists. The present article analyses the braking behaviour of such shunting units. For this purpose, a dedicated model is developed. It is calibrated on published results of brake tests and validated against a high-definition model for low-speed applications. Based on this model, multiple simulations are executed to obtain a Monte Carlo simulation of the resulting braking distances. Based on the distribution properties and established safety levels, the risk of exceeding certain braking distances is evaluated and maximum braking distances are derived. Together with certain parameters of the system, these can serve in the design and safety assessment of driver assistance systems and automation of these processes.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{PfaffBurnham2008, author = {Pfaff, Raphael and Burnham, Keith J.}, title = {On abstraction and interpretability: a behavioural perspective}, series = {19th International Conference on Systems Engineering 2008 : ICSENG '08 : 19 - 21 Aug. 2008, University of Nevada, Las Vegas, Nevada}, booktitle = {19th International Conference on Systems Engineering 2008 : ICSENG '08 : 19 - 21 Aug. 2008, University of Nevada, Las Vegas, Nevada}, publisher = {IEEE}, address = {Piscataway, NJ}, organization = {International Conference on Systems Engineering <19, 2008, Las Vegas, Nev.>}, isbn = {978-0-7695-3331-5 ; 978-0-7695-2719-2}, pages = {89 -- 94}, year = {2008}, language = {en} } @article{PfaffBurnham2009, author = {Pfaff, Raphael and Burnham, Keith J.}, title = {On abstraction and interpretability: a behavioural perspective}, series = {Systems Science}, volume = {Vol. 35}, journal = {Systems Science}, number = {Iss. 2}, issn = {0137-1223}, pages = {19 -- 26}, year = {2009}, language = {en} } @article{PfaffEnning2017, author = {Pfaff, Raphael and Enning, Manfred}, title = {G{\"u}terwagen 4.0 - Der G{\"u}terwagen f{\"u}r das Internet der Dinge.
