This study is focused on the topical issue of increasing the energy efficiency in DC railway
systems, in the context of global concerns for reducing the CO2 emissions by minimizing the …

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 …

In modern electrified and rail-bound mass transit vehicles, a considerable part of the braking
energy is still dissipated via resistors. This applies in particular to less connected and low …

Electric rail transit systems are the large consumers of energy. In trains with regenerative
braking capability, a fraction of the energy used to power a train is regenerated during …

In metro system, the fault of traction power supply system may cause the power supply
shortage around the failure substation. In this case, the dispatching measure should be …

The new railway mobility paradigm Virtual Coupling, recognized as one of the most
promising solutions to face the ever-increasing demand in railway transportation and the …

Time-varying capacity design holds an opportunity to reduce the energy consumption of
urban mass transit systems, eg, urban rail transits, bus rapid transits, modular autonomous …

During decades, the automatic train operation (ATO) system has been gradually adopted in
many subway systems for its low-cost and intelligence. This article proposes two smart train …

Due to the recent advances in intelligent transportation systems (ITS), Automatic Train
System (ATS) gained significant attention among the research community. An effective ATS …

Energy consumption by metro trains has attracted considerable attention due to economic
