MaSzyna EU07-424 (train simulator)

Desrciption of physics engine and other projects for train simulator, created by Marcin Woźniak.

Summary:

• PHYSICS
  • Locomotives: Currently only a physics for DC electric locomotive with rheostat controll is implemented.
  • Vehicles: Forces: friction (depend on track damage/radius), couplers/buffers, track slope.
  • Brakes: Manual, Pneumatic, ElectroPneumatic, but only iron friction elements implemented yet. Adhesion, slipping wheels - yes.
  • Accidents:Derailing: radius dependent, track width dependent. Engine problems: shortcuts. Couplers/pipes can break.
• AI drivers
  • Signals:AI driver can obtain velocity information and will compute desired brake acceleration to fit in distance.
  • Velocity:AI driver will not exceed maximal velocity.
  • Commands:Scenery is communicating with AI driver using string+value commands.
  • Driving problems: AI driver can solve such problems as whell splippery or main fuse off.
