Optimal design of ATO driving parameters for Metro de Barcelona to Line 1

A. Fernández-Cardador A.P. Cucala A. Fernández Rodríguez

July 2016 - March 2017

Funding entity Bombardier European Investments, S.L.U

Participated by Metro de Barcelona


The objective of this project is the design and implementation of ATO speed commands in Line 1 of Metro de Barcelona to minimise the energy consumption. These ATO speed commands are 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 parameterized basically by a coast point and a regulation speed.
