Efficient Urban Railway Design Integrating Train Scheduling, Wayside Energy Storage, and Traction Power Management

Energy-Efficient Emplacement of Reversible DC Traction Power Substations in Urban Rail Transport through Regenerative Energy Recovery

Due to the high potential of urban rail transport systems as an effective solution to improve urban mobility services, these systems have faced an increasing demand in recent years. High capacity, reliability and absence of local emissions are some of the most promising advantages of these transportation systems. However, with the increase in capacity demands, energy costs and environmental ...

Design and Prototype of a Train-to-Wayside Communication Architecture

Telecommunication has become very important in modern society and seems to be almost omnipresent, making daily life easier, more pleasant and connecting people everywhere. It does not only connect people, but also machines, enhancing the efficiency of automated tasks and monitoring automated processes. In this context the IBBT (Interdisciplinary Institute for BroadBand Technology) project TRACK...

2 Energy Management - Components of Power Train Management

MAGNA STEYR has built up a full hybrid premium SUV with longitudinal powertrain, where the so called high modular model based hybrid control is implemented. This softand hardware control includes everything from driver input down to clutch and transmission control and back to driver display. The complete algorithm is the result of a new product development process of MAGNA STEYR. The complete c...

Energy-saving Technology for Railway Traction Systems Using Onboard Storage Batteries

Motomi Shimada Yoshihiro Miyaji Takashi Kaneko Keita Suzuki OVERVIEW: The first application for onboard storage batteries came with the commercialization of series hybrid drive systems that reduced the fuel consumption of diesel trains. Storage battery control has also been used for the absorption of regenerative electric power and to implement the regenerative brake with extended effective spe...
