Systems and methods for guided vehicle matching are disclosed. In order to generate vehicle recommendations for a user of an electronic vehicle listing service, a plurality of vehicle-related lifestyle options are presented to the user, and a user selection received. Additional data regarding the user's vehicle preferences, requirements, or usage may be obtained. Based upon such information, a set of example vehicles is generated and presented to the user. Each example vehicle has characteristics representing a plurality of other vehicles. Based upon user ratings or selections of at least some of the example vehicles, a plurality of vehicle recommendations for specific available vehicles are generated and presented to the user. In some embodiments, further user interaction with such recommendations is used to refine the vehicle recommendations and identify additional vehicle recommendations.

An empty and load air brake control apparatus for railroad freight cars, for applying full braking forces to the car wheels when the car is riding loaded, but for applying reduced braking forces to the car wheels that are at appropriate force levels when the car rides empty, in which in addition to the conventional brake pipe, AB or ABD control valve, the auxiliary and emergency reservors, the brake cylinder, and the retaining valve, are included a special load sensing device and a modulating valve for supplying full braking air pressures to the brake cylinder when the car rides loaded and reduced braking air pressures to the brake cylinder when the car rides empty. The components of the apparatus are arranged and connected so that the load sensing device controls the operation of the modulating valve to supply the braking air to the brake cylinder that is appropriate for either loaded or empty braking, while providing for full braking air release at the retaining valve to the exclusion of the load sensing device, even when rock and roll are occasioned. The arrangement is such that once the control apparatus is set to provide for the appropriate car braking, as sensed by the load sensing device, no amount of rock and roll can change the setting to loaded car braking where the car is riding empty or vice versa.

Empty and load apparatus for railroad cars

A modulating valve for railroad car brake cylinders to adapt them for operation with composition brake shoes, in the form of an assembly comprising a bracket plate arranged for connection in the brake cylinder pipe, at a convenient location between the brake cylinder and the AB control valve, in place of a portion of the brake cylinder pipe removed for that purpose, and a modulating valve mounted on the bracket plate and in communication with the brake cylinder pipe and brake cylinder to limit the fluid pressures supplied to the brake cylinder so that composition brake shoes will deliver the proper brake applying force to the truck wheels without interferring with proper operation of existing brake control equipment.

Modulating valve assembly for railroad car brake cylinders

A modulating valve for railroad car brake cylinders to adapt them for operation with composition brake shoes, in the form of an assembly comprising a bracket plate shaped for mounting between the brake cylinder pipe flange type fitting that connects the brake cylinder pipe to the brake cylinder and the cylinder head, and that is arranged for a three point securement to the cylinder head, and a modulating valve mounted on the bracket plate and in communication with the brake cylinder pipe and brake cylinder to limit the fluid pressures supplied to the brake cylinder so that composition brake shoes will deliver the proper brake applying force to the truck wheels without interferring with proper operation of existing brake control equipment. This invention relates to a modulating valve assembly for use with railroad car pneumatic brake equipment, and more particularly, to a modulating valve assembly for application to the car brake cylinder to adapt the brake cylinder to deliver the amount of brake applying force to the truck wheels that is proper for the modern composition brake shoes.
