Abstract:The scope of this study has encompassed an evaluation of fourteen yard speed
control devices, an identification of four generic speed control systems, a
qualitative assessment of the four systems, and finally a quantitative analysis
of three hypothetic yards each employing a system that is considered promising.
These three systems are (1) the advanced clasp retarder system, (2) the quasicontinuous
control system, and (3) a hybrid system incorporating quasi-continuous
control. No ranking of these three systems is possible because each has its
advantages and disadvantages; and one system may be more suitable than the
others under a particular circumstance.
