The energy consumption of trains is highly efficient due to the low friction between steel
wheels and rails, although the efficiency is also influenced largely by the driving strategy …

Energy-efficient train operation is regarded as an effective way to reduce the operational
cost and carbon emissions in metro systems. Reduction of the traction energy and …

With the ever-increasing operating mileage of urban rail transit systems, a large amount of
energy is consumed for train operation, and the energy-saving for train operation has …

In the practical operation of the Bei**g metro systems, cyclic timetables are used, where the
dwell times for all train services are the same for a station during the whole day. Since the …

Reduction on the traction energy and increasing of the reused regenerative energy are two
main ways for saving energy in metro systems, which are related to the driving strategy as …

This paper proposes a novel approach for energy-efficient timetabling by adjusting the
running time allocation of given timetables using train trajectory optimization. The approach …

Current research in automatic train operation concentrates on optimizing an energy-efficient
speed profile and designing control algorithms to track the speed profile, which may reduce …

In subway systems, kinetic energy can be converted into electrical one by using
regenerative braking systems. If regenerative energy (RE) is fully used, the energy demands …
