Pombo, (Editor), "Proceedings of the Second International Conference on Railway Technology: Research, Development and Maintenance", Civil-Comp Press, Stirlingshire, UK, Paper 247, 2014. doi:10.4203/ccp.104.247

Keywords: braking, traction system, energy efficiency, driver behaviour.

Summary

In this work a tool is proposed called TRENO for the optimization of train simulation regarding its longitudinal behaviour, in order to improve reliability and efficiency of both traction and braking systems. Continuous improvement of high speed train performances, and related safety and interoperability standards, involves an accurate design of both traction and braking systems (which both affect safety of the train), energy efficiency (including their interaction with line infrastructure through signalling), and ATP-ATC on board systems. The proposed simulation tool completely developed in Matlab-Simulink is designed as a modular system that should be easily customized in order to fit different traction and braking system layouts. One of the most interesting/innovative software is a heuristic model of the driver, which combines different kinds of contribution in order to emulate a near-to-realistic mission profile.
