• Modeling and optimizing energy-efficient manual driving on high-speed lines 

      Sicre Vara del Rey, Carlos María; Cucala García, María Asunción; Fernández Cardador, Antonio; Lukaszewicz, Piotr (2012-11-01)
      This paper presents a simulation-based model for manual driving strategies that will minimise energy consumption for high speed trains. Specific characteristics of both high speed lines (HSL) and manual driving strategies ...
    • Optimal design of metro automatic train operation speed profiles for reducing energy consumption 

      Domínguez Gago, María; Fernández Cardador, Antonio; Cucala García, María Asunción; Lukaszewicz, Piotr (2011-09-01)
      Trains equipped with automatic train operation (ATO) systems are operated between stations according to the speed commands they receive from balises. These commands define a particular speed profile and running time, with ...
