Abstract

Subway energy-efficient management mainly consists of a speed control approach and a timetable optimization approach. The former controls speed profile for a single train at inter-stations to minimize the traction energy consumption under the travel time constraint and the latter synchronizes the accelerating time and braking time of multiple trains to maximize the regenerative energy utilization among them. Note that the travel time at the speed control model is determined by timetable while the accelerating time and braking time at the timetable optimization model is determined by speed profile.
