Retardation
1. Determine retardation force required by finding
intersection of vehicle mass line.
2. From this intersection, move straight left
across charts until line intersects the curve.
NOTE: 2% typical rolling resistance is already
assumed in chart.
3. Read down from this point to determine
maximum speed.
Gradeability / Rimpull
1. Determine tractive resistance by finding
intersection of vehicle mass line and grade
line. NOTE: 2% typical rolling resistance is
already assumed in chart and grade line.
2. From this intersection, move straight left
across charts until line intersects rimpull curve.
3. Read down from this point to determine
maximum speed attained at that tractive
resistance.

across charts until line intersects the curve.
NOTE: 2% typical rolling resistance is already
assumed in chart.
3. Read down from this point to determine
maximum speed.
Gradeability / Rimpull
1. Determine tractive resistance by finding
intersection of vehicle mass line and grade
line. NOTE: 2% typical rolling resistance is
already assumed in chart and grade line.
2. From this intersection, move straight left
across charts until line intersects rimpull curve.
3. Read down from this point to determine
maximum speed attained at that tractive
resistance.
