Optimal design of ATO driving parameters

A. Fernández-Cardador A.P. Cucala M. Domínguez

November 2007 - June 2008

Funding entity Metro de Madrid S.A.


The objective of this project is the design and implementation of ATO speed commands in Metro de Madrid 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.
