Wende, 2003 p. 96f.)) + +More exact calculation of resistances for: +* the track (e.g. including curves, switches, tunnels) +* for the train (e.g. there are vehicle resistance equations especially for high-speed trains, which are not yet considered in the tool (cf. Wende, 2003 p. 152 f.)) + +Input/calculation of tractive force (currently only tractive force-speed pairs. This could be extended to include tractive force functions that apply to specific velocity ranges (cf. Brünger, et al., 2014 p. 69). + +Calculation of energy, cf.
