Funding entity Patentes Talgo

In this project a software tool is developed to simulate the ATO automatic driving and consumption of high speed trains to analyse and design eco-driving. In addition, the tool includes optimisation algorithms in order to calculate the efficient ATO commands that minimise the energy consumption for a target running time.

Research topics:
• *Efficiency in Railways Operation
• *Energy Efficient Timetabling and Train Driving (Ecodriving)
