3.3.1
Maximum permissible velocity during segment change
There are generally no velocity limits for vehicles in PLB applications within a communication
segment. Only a permanent electrical and mechanical connection between slider and rail
must be ensured. During the segment change, the maximum permissible velocity depends
on the distance of the sliders on a vehicle and the transfer time defined in the section
"Registration and transfer times (Page 46)". It must always be ensured that the PLB on the
front slider is securely registered before the rear slider leaves the segment.
The maximum velocity during segment change can be calculated as follows:
V
max_segment_change
= slider distance / transfer time
