Abstract

A train driving requires to n the fixed distance within given time, and it is desirable to consume low energy if necessary. Reducing energy consumption depends on the train operation modes by either manual or automatic operation. In this article, an operation to reduce energy consumption by changing modes of train operation by a driver without changing the train operation requirement is investigated. The powering model, braking model and consumed energy calculation model are developed, then simulated by using a Matlab software. The accuracy of the train dynamic model established by the simulations is verified by comparing with the real experimental data. Several simulations by various operations in the real track are executed, then the desirable pattern of train driving is found.
