Optimal Train-speed Curve Based on Cooperative Train

This paper focuses on studying the problem of train-speed curve in railway transportation system. Different from the previous study, the characteristic of this paper is to optimize the train-speed curve by selecting the gear sequence and the switching locations. In the case of multi-vehicle cooperation, considering the energy efficiency and service quality, this paper formulates a train-speed curve optimization model to minimize the energy consumption and travel time. Then the genetic algorithm is used to optimize the train-speed curve and the obtain optimal control strategies of the train under different departure intervals.
