Abstract

A comprehensive train model for energy-efficient driving has been developed that takes into account user-defined driving styles, trajectory planners, and other constraints like adhesion limitations and comfort acceleration. The model comprises the electrical traction components and a steady-state HVAC model. It can also simulate coasting and dynamic braking based on requirements. There is also a generic battery model to simulate the battery powered train. It also has a track infrastructure raw data pre-processor to define the track information required for simulations. This model is a useful tool to conduct parametric studies about energy-efficient train operations, spatio-temporal power demands, battery-powered operations, and timetable requirements. More features, like hybrid-powered source trains and meta-heuristic optimization algorithms, will enhance the capabilities of this model.
