Longitudinal heavy haul train simulations and energy analysis for typical Australian track routes

Last updated on 01 August 2014 2:42

Computer simulations are utilised to study the energy used by heavy haul trains and the amount of energy that can be generated from dynamic braking of these trains; these studies allow the potential for the application of hybrid locomotives to be evaluated. An in-house written software package is used to...
