January 2015 - April 2017

Funding entity Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat Valenciana (FGV)


The objective of this project is the design and implementation of efficient ATO speed commands in Metro de Valencia lines. These ATO speed commands are selected and sent to the train by the traffic regulation system in real-time. For each inter-station a set of 4 speed commands are designed, the flat out command and 3 commands parameterised by coast/re-motor speed or by the regulation speed, as well as the brake deceleration. The new ATO speed commands must comply with technical, operational and comfort restrictions and will minimise the energy consumption.
