The Solution of Railway Problems on a Digital Computer: 1

A. Gilmour

The English Electric Company Ltd.

This paper gives an account of railway problems solved on the English Electric DEUCE during the last three years and contains a review of current developments.

The paper is divided into two Parts, the first dealing with engineering and design applications and the second with operational applications. Part 1, below, covers problems in the design of traction motors and rectifiers, the calculations of locomotive performance to meet certain given conditions and the study of loads on a power supply system produced by an a.c. traction network.

In Part 2, to be published in July, the problems dealt with are the calculation of point-to-point running times, the use of linear programming methods for minimizing empty wagon movement, and a major current development—the preparation of timetables on digital computers.
