Abstract:

The conventional retarder speed control system is a misnomer. In particular, there are many system configurations one can put together with “conventional” hardware. Herein, we discuss several of these configurations, including: retarder types, poor man’s hump yard, and normal hump yard. The paper describes each of these configurations.
