LOCOMOTIVE CONTROL DEVICE, LOCOMOTIVE CONTROL SYSTEM, AND START CONTROL METHOD OF LOCOMOTIVE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a locomotive control device which can make a train depart while reducing the shock load impressed to a coupler certainly without relying upon the operation technique of a driver.

SOLUTION: The control command output unit 8 of the locomotive control device 2 automatically controls a locomotive 1 to run within a permissible speed Vt until all couplers 10 engage. The permissible speed Vt is set equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the initial displacement L0 of the coupler 10 by the period Ts during which the shock load is impressed to the coupler 10, and the locomotive 1 is controlled so that the shock loads generated through engagement of the couplers 10 do not overlap when the locomotive 1 departs and pulls a plurality of vehicles 9.
