These types of analyses may be set up and run from either the ‘Master-I-O' or the ‘Rail-I-O' worksheet by selecting "Rail Technology Evaluation" from the green dropdown list at cell C4 of either worksheet and then configuring a baseline trip and up to three other rail trips for comparison.

When "none" is selected then the simulation uses the air brake system which may be assisted by dynamic braking when the flag in the green cell on row 63 of ‘Rail-Consist' is set to "1".
