Optimal design of metro automatic train operation speed profiles for reducing energy consumption

Last updated on 22 August 2014 3:06

Trains equipped with automatic train operation (ATO) systems are operated between stations according to the speed commands they receive from balises. These commands define a particular speed profile and running time, with associated energy usage (consumption). The design of speed profiles usually takes into account running times and comfort criteria,...
