Eco-driving command for tram-driver system*. Issue 19 (2016) - La Delfa, Salvatore
Abstract: In the transport domain, the aim of operators and manufacturers is not only to perform a route as quickly as possible but also to take into account the energy consumption. The scientific advances in the field of solving optimization problems challenge driving habits. Eco-driving assistance systems are then designed to reduce energy consumption. In this paper, achieving an energy effcient driving profile for a tram-driver system is presented. The optimization problem is to achieve inter-station distance in a time t, while respecting the constraints imposed by tram and route models, to minimize energy consumption.
