Summary

Planning accurately energy efficient scheduling for freight trains is challenging as very few studies have yet been devoted to energy train models. This paper studies the fuel consumption of freight trains. We determine the train speed that minimizes the energy consumption, taking into account the departure and arrival times. The proposed energy consumption model takes into account the ground topography, the speed, the number of axles. Some experiments, using Canada Pacific Railway (CPR) data, are conducted in order to estimate the energy gain when adapting the train speed.
