Optimal design of ATO driving parameters for Metro Barcelona

A. Fernández-Cardador A.P. Cucala

September 2011 - December 2013

Funding entity Dimetronic S.A

Participated by Metro de Barcelona


The objective of this project is the design and implementation of ATO speed commands in Metro de Barcelona lines. These ATO speed commands will be selected and sent to the train by the traffic regulation system in real-time. For each inter-station a set of 4 speed commands are designed, the flat out command and 3 commands parameterised by coast/re-motor speed or by the regulation speed, as well as the brake deceleration. The new ATO speed commands must comply with technical, operational and comfort restrictions and will minimise the energy consumption.
