FA-Based Optimal Strategy Study of Train's Energy Saving Operation under Disturbed Condition

Article Preview

Abstract:

Different from changeable chromosome length genetic algorithm, a new method based on firefly optimization algorithm is put forward to search a trains energy saving operation strategy under running disturbance condition in railway network. The algorithm is designed and validated using a referenced simulation case. Compared with other methods, it demonstrates this new FA-based algorithm has a better result in computation efficiency and may be considered to use in other energy efficient train operation models.
