April 2020 - December 2023

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 3 of Metro de Barcelona to minimise the energy consumption of new trains in this line. 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.
