Figure 10
A line graph showing velocity over time for a simulated vehicle. The x axis represents time in seconds ranging from 0 to 120 seconds. The y axis represents velocity in meters per second ranging from 0 to 100 meters per second. The graph captures three phases: acceleration, steady-state cruising, and deceleration. During the acceleration phase, the velocity increases from 0 to approximately 80 meters per second over the first 50 seconds. In the steady-state cruising phase, the velocity remains constant at around 80 meters per second for about 30 seconds. During the deceleration phase, the velocity decreases from 80 meters per second back to 0 over the next 40 seconds. All values are approximated.Velocity profile of the simulated vehicle capturing acceleration, steady-state cruising and deceleration phases to represent realistic high-speed railway operating conditions.
