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{PfaffShahidiEnning2017, author = {Pfaff, Raphael and Shahidi, Parham and Enning, Manfred}, title = {Connected freight rail rolling stock: a modular approach integrating sensors, actors and cyber physical systems for operational advantages and condition based maintenance}, series = {Asia-Pacific Conference of the Prognostics and Health Management Society}, booktitle = {Asia-Pacific Conference of the Prognostics and Health Management Society}, pages = {1 -- 7}, year = {2017}, language = {en} } @article{PfaffSchmidt2016, author = {Pfaff, Raphael and Schmidt, Bernd}, title = {Daten in der Cloud - und dann?}, series = {Deine Bahn}, journal = {Deine Bahn}, number = {6}, publisher = {Bahn-Fachverlag}, address = {Berlin}, issn = {0948-7263}, pages = {50 -- 55}, year = {2016}, abstract = {Schienenverkehrssysteme stehen in zunehmendem Wettbewerb, sowohl untereinander als auch mit anderen Verkehrstr{\"a}gern.
