COMPUTERISED DETERMINATION AND IMPLEMENTATION OF ECONOMIC LOCOMOTIVE DRIVING STRATEGIES

RECHNERGESTUETZTE ERMITTLUNG UND REALISIERUNG VON FAHRSTRATEGIEN FUER DIE ENERGIESPARENDE FAHRWEISE VON DIESELTRIEBFAHRZEUGEN

Irrespective of the type of traction involved, rail transport energy consumption is closely linked to the type of driving. Energy consumption over the same distance and time can vary considerable according to the driving mode. Consumption levels are determined by the different energy transformation output rates. The authors comment on various train running simulation methods, which provide different operating cycles for use in mathematical models.
