BACKGROUND & PROBLEM
Inspecting and testing freight car air brakes, a common railroad task, is a fundamental part of a railroad's initial training for Conductors and Freight Car Mechanics. This inspection and testing, known as Air Brake Test (CFR 232), requires railroads to have multiple freight cars on-site and allocate a significant amount of training time for demonstration and practice.
SOLUTION OVERVIEW
To make procedural knowledge readily available in classroom training and in the field, Railroads can deploy a Virtual Interactive Guide (VIG) covering the Air Brake Test process.
The VIG guides workforce through steps of the Air Brake Test with individual steps in both text and 3D animation. Ability to replay, move forward/back, search and jump to steps. Necessary safety and technical information is displayed.
Used for: Classroom Training, Self-paced refresher, Job Aid (Field) tool.
FEATURES
Possible train defects:
Air hose leaking, Piston leaking
Angle Cock leaking, Retainer Valve leaking
Cut Out Cock leaking
Car types: Gondola, Flat, Box, Tanker, Hopper, Well/Intermodal.Available on PC, Mac, iOS, Android
BENEFITS
1. Improved knowledge of air brake components and functions and Increased efficiency when performing the Air Brake Test.
2. Reduced need for live equipment (Locomotives/Freight cars allocated for training).
3. Readily available refresher training tool.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Using the VIG, employees should be able to:
Identify and determine the correct positioning of freight car air brake system components
Manipulate air brake system components and determine correct brake pipe pressure.
Understand the steps of an Air Brake Test.
