Example figures: underflow frequency of velocity limits

Explanations

Frequency with which the current velocity lies below velocity limits within the period of data analysis.

• left top: value of the parameter for the 1st class [limit velocity: 0.1 m/s].
• right top: value of the parameter for the 3rd class [limit velocity: 0.5 m/s].
• left bottom: value of the parameter for the 5th class [limit velocity: 0.9 m/s].
• right bottom: value of the parameter for the 7th class [limit velocity: 1.3 m/s].

Examples

current velocity < 0.1 m/s	current velocity < 0.5 m/s

current velocity < 0.9 m/s	current velocity < 1.3 m/s

Closely related quantities

• exceedance frequency of velocity limits
• duration of low current velocity
