Timetable optimization is one of the effective solution methods for urban rail transit to
achieve energy-saving. Previous studies on timetable optimization only focused on the …

Eco-driving for trains has traditionally focused on minimizing mechanical energy
consumption at wheels, while completely ignoring traction chain losses that are rather …

Given the dynamic and unevenly distributed metro or urban rail passenger demand, this
paper investigates the train timetabling optimization that is responsive to demand …

Cooperative eco-driving of multi-train combined with dc railway system can achieve energy
saving at the substation level for the metro system. This article presents an integrated …

The Carbon Neutralization is a grand strategy to deal with global climate change. As a major
energy consumer, urban rail transit (URT) system should contribute corresponding solutions …

For urban rail transit, high-voltage ac power is generally transmitted from the main
substation to the traction substation (TS), which employs isolated diode–rectifiers to feed the …

A neutral zone is a section of a railway line without traction current during high-speed train
operations and is very common in high-speed railway lines. However, previous studies on …

For subway regenerative energy optimization, the essential idea is to maximize the amount
of regenerative energy absorption (AREA) between accelerating trains and braking trains by …

Aiming to minimize the total electricity usage in realistic operation of urban rail transit (URT)
trains, this article establishes the coupled model for the train–line–electric network–timetable …

Electrified railway is one of the major users of electricity in the power system. The access of
energy storage system (ESS) effectively solves the problems of peak traction load (TL) shock …
