Funding entity Traintic, Ministerio de Fomento

Participated by Traintic, CAF, RENFE

The objective of this project is the development and implementation of new ecodriving models to design efficient manual driving to be included in the control centre. The models calculate the ecodriving for a specific track section, a train, and the commercial timetable, minimising the energy consumption. As a result, the list of efficient commands to be executed is provided.

Research topics:
• *Energy efficient timetabling and train driving (Ecodriving)
• *Efficiency in railways operation
