The Influence of Network Bottleneck on Train Energy Consumption in Railway Traffic

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, an improved cellular automaton model is proposed to simulate train movement by considering reaction time and coasting strategy. Our study is focused on the factors which influence the train energy consumption around network bottleneck (i.e. stations). Here the laws of the propagation of train delay are also discussed. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed model is suitable for simulating the train movement under high speed condition.
