Strategy Study on Comfort Optimization of Metro Train Traction

Abstract:

The metro train traction strategy primarily involves the optimization model of the energy consumption and the time. In this paper, how to meet the comfort requirements of the passengers through changing the operation mode of the train is studied. After analysis on the inter-station road conditions, the possible passengers’ uncomfortable points are calculated based on UIC513. The road sections which may bring un-comfort are compromised by the way of speed reduction, so as to meet the metro train traction calculation, and expectation on the energy and time saving.
