ENERRGY-EFFICIENT TRAIN OPERATION WITH GIVEN TIME

摘要

In China, railway transportation's total amount of energy consumption is quite huge. The locomotive traction fuel consumption occupies 60 to 70 percent of the railway energy consumption. Hence, researches on how to reduce the locomotive traction fuel consumption are of vital importance for railway energy saving. On the basis of the previous correlation research results in the field of energy-efficient train operation with given time, this paper improves the model and increases the searching speed of the heuristic algorithm. At last, this paper figures out the section traveling optimal scheme by using VC++ 6.0 and MATLAB software according to an example's data, gains better results and then proves the algorithm's feasibility.
