Conflict-free train path planning using ATO timing points

Automatic Train Operation (ATO) is a technology to support or automate train driving for increasing service punctuality, energy efficiency and rail infrastructure capacity. Conflict-free train path planning is crucial to the effective deployment of ATO, which allows ATO-equipped trains to operate according to schedule with different train...

Coasting advice based on the analytical solutions of the train motion model

A large variety of supervision, data analysis and communication algorithms monitor trains, exploiting most of their available computational power. On-board eco-driving algorithms such as Driver Advisory Systems are no exception, as the computational power available can limit their complexity and features. This was the case of Roltijd, the in...
