| te(s) equivalent time of application. | |||||
| Braking mode | te(s) | Minimum deceleration under set braking conditions (m/s)2 | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 330 to 300 (km/h) | 300 to 230 (km/h) | 230 to 170 (km/h) | 170 to 0 (km/h) | ||
| Normal service braking | 2 | 0,35 | 0,35 | 0,6 | 0,6 |
These decelerations shall be achieved by a train on level track, in the configurations defined in Section 4.1.5, case A and B.
