The attende e will also gain an understanding of how WSP systems provide operational b enefit to rail system operators. As a foundation for the description of WS P system operation\, typical system and component designs for pneumatic an d hydraulic brake systems applied to rail vehicles ranging from streetcars to High-Speed trains will be described.\n\nThe functionality of a typical friction brake WSP system along with standard integration schemes with el ectro-dynamic brakes will be discussed along with an extension of the appl ication of WSP to braking modes traditionally not WSP protected will be pr esented. In conjunction with brake mode application discussions\, the safe ty aspects of the systems applied to current rail vehicles will be address ed. To provide the viewer a window into how systems are specified and vali dated\, the presentation will contain information related to typical speci fication requirements and practical test processes for confirmation of sys tem performance including integrating aspects of European homologation sta ndards.\n\nFinally\, to provide a small glimpse into the future\, next ste ps in the evolution of Friction brake WSP control to improve performance u nder varied rail conditions will be presented.\n\nSpeaker(s): Andrew Long\ , \n\nAgenda: \n11:30 am - lunch & conversation\n\n12:00 pm - presentation & discussion\n\n1:00 pm - adjourn\n\n------------------------------------ ----------------\n\nTransit\n\nRed Line\n\nMetro Center Station\nExit stat ion through 13TH ST NW & G ST NW entrance.\nWalk approx. 2 blocks North on 13th St NW.\n\nOrange/Blue/Silver Lines\n\nMcPherson Square Station\nExit station through 14TH & I ST NW - FRANKLIN SQUARE entrance.\nWalk approxim ately 1 block East on I St NW.\n\nParking: Advance discounted reservations available at [www.spothero.com](https://spothero.com/)\n\nRoom: Suite 120 0 East\, Bldg: American Public Transportation Association\, 1300 I Street\ , NW\, Washington\, District of Columbia\, United States\, 20005 LOCATION:Room: Suite 1200 East\, Bldg: American Public Transportation Assoc iation\, 1300 I Street\, NW\, Washington\, District of Columbia\, United S tates\, 20005 ORGANIZER:vts.ltc.dc@gmail.com SEQUENCE:6 SUMMARY:VTS: Rail Car Wheelslide Control Systems URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/191512 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p>Andrew Long will provide an understanding of why wheelslide protection systems (WSP) are implemented in rail vehicle s and why they serve as more than just an &ldquo\;Anti-flat&rdquo\; system to protect wheels.
