Energy-Efficient Train Driving Based on Optimal Control Theory

Efficient train driving plays a vital role in reducing the overall energy consumption in the railway sector. An energy minimising control strategy can be computed using the framework given by optimal control theory; in particular, the Pontryagin maximum principle can be used. Our optimisation approa...
