To determine the running time and to establish the train operation chart in sections first of all it is necessary to determine and establish the resultant force and the unit resultant force of trains in operation. The trains operating on railways are quite diverse because many different types of locomotives are used for different masses of trains. The determination of the running time and the train operation chart including the unit resultant force must be done for each specific train resulting in a huge amount of computation that takes a long time when calculating by the traditional method. Therefore it is necessary to develop a general calculation program to solve the problem quickly and accurately. The general program includes some basic modules corresponding to the above tasks. The article presents the process of developing a program to calculate and to establish the unit resultant force curves for trains with locomotives and wagons Railways used in Vietnam as a module in the mentioned general program. Keywords calculation program train traction unit resultant force operation chart. 2020 University of Transport and Communications 907 Tạp chí Khoa học Giao thông vận tải Tập 71 Số 8 10 2020 907-923 Tạp chí Khoa học Giao thông vận tải XÂY DỰNG .
