RAILWAY LINEHAUL ENERGY INTENSITY: DEVELOPMENT OF AN ENHANCED TRAIN-HANDLING MODULE FOR THE AAR TRAIN ENERGY MODEL
This report is the third in a series of CIGGT reports on Railway Linehaul Energy Intensity sponsored by Transport Canada. It presents a method of integrating the recommended train-handling simulation module into an existing train simulation model, namely the AAR Train Energy Model. The train-handling module is designed to obey posted speed restrictions in a manner determined by the type of terrain involved and the type of train involved, while offering sensitivities to a range of train-handling techniques.
