Any program purporting to implement SJG rules should use those rules as the basis of its operation, and allow more complex algorithms as options. For example, GVB uses the volume table by default even though it's inaccurate, because that way it can be used for checking the accuracy of published vehicle designs; but that box can be un-ticked to allow for precise calculation instead.
