ATO ecodriving design to minimise energy consumption in Metro de Bilbao

This paper addresses the use of automatic train operation systems (ATO) in minimizing energy consumption in the Bilbao Underground (Metro de Bilbao), Bilbao, Spain. Rail transit train driving commands and speed commands have both been improved, to take the energy efficiency of train operations into account.
