The acceleration rate of trains on suburban services is

  • The acceleration rate of trains on suburban services is 1 to 6.5 kmph.
  • For suburban service, the distance between stops is between 1 and 8 km, and the acceleration rate is between 1 and 6.5 kmph.
  • The distance between stops is not described, but the speed-time curve consists of three periods: acceleration, coasting, and retardation.
  • There is no free-running period, and the coasting period is longer since the distance between stops is greater.
  • The typical acceleration and retardation values are between 1.5 and 5 kmph and 3 and 4 kmph, respectively.
