The figure is multiplied by the vehicle’s top speed and the product is subtracted from its throttle once per frame, both while it is braking over the last SlowdownDistance of its journey and whenever it is running faster than the speed it has been told to hold. Braking on the approach never takes the throttle below three tenths; only a stop order brings a vehicle to rest. Only a vehicle carrying Accelerates=yes and moved by the drive locomotor is affected.
Multiplying by top speed is what makes the two stock figures line up. A vehicle at Speed=6 sheds .03 of its throttle per frame — exactly what AccelerationFactor adds — while a faster type brakes proportionally harder and a slower one more gently, from the same written figure.
