Energy Efficient Strategies for Scheduling Trains on a Line*
نویسنده
چکیده
Scheduling trains on a single railway line is treated by converting the scheduling problem to a discrete event dynamic system, and converting a greedy time-efficient strategy to an energy efficient schedule. While such a schedule cannot be referred to as a strategy dependent solely on the state of the system the strategy is easily re-computed when perturbations in the nominal schedule occur.

Dynamic Cargo Trains Scheduling for Tackling Network Constraints and Costs Emanating from Tardiness and Earliness
This paper aims to develop a multi-objective model for scheduling cargo trains faced by the costs of tardiness and earliness, time limitations, queue priority and limited station lines. Based upon the Islamic Republic of Iran Railway Corporation (IRIRC) regulations, passenger trains enjoy priority over other trains for departure. Therefore, the timetable of cargo trains must be determined based...
متن کاملConcurrent Locomotive Assignment and Freight Train Scheduling
The locomotive assignment and the freight train scheduling are important problems in railway transportation. Freight cars are coupled to form a freight rake. The freight rake becomes a train when a locomotive is coupled to it. The locomotive assignment problem assigns locomotives to a set of freight rakes in a way that, with minimum locomotive deadheading time, rake coupling delay and locomotiv...
متن کاملTime Efficient Greedy Strategy for Scheduling Trains on a Line
Scheduling trains on a single railway line is an issue in it own right, and is a building block for scheduling trains in railway networks. A local, state dependent, travel advance strategy combined with a discrete event model of a railway line represent a more efficient way of approaching the scheduling problem than nonlinear programming approaches used in the past. The approach also eliminates...
متن کاملControlling Train Power Consumption with Energy Storage Based on Fuzzy Control - Case Study on Line 3 of Tehran Metro
New high-speed trains need modern energy management methods to reduce energy consumption. A fuzzy method based control method was used to solve this problem in this paper and evaluated the results on basis of data in Tehran metro line 3. Recovering the maximum amount of train kinetic energy when it is in the braking mode and optimal division of traction systems demand between energy storage sys...

Nowadays one of the main priorities for railways administrations and operators is the reduction of energy consumption, due to its impact on CO2 emissions and economic costs. This is especially important on high speed lines, in expansion in many countries, given that very high levels of consumption are involved. Energy saving strategies focused on traffic operation can be applied in the short te...
