Resumen

When train operations are perturbed, a new working timetable needs to be computed in real-time. In the literature, several algorithms have been proposed for optimizing this computation. This optimization usually does not consider energy consumption. However, minimizing energy consumption is a central issue both from the environmental and economic perspective. In this paper, we address the real-time problem of minimizing the energy consumption. The energy consumption depends on driving regimes used by the train drivers. Hence, we focus on the decision of the appropriate driving regimes throughout each train's travel along a given infrastructure. A model and solution approach for this problem are provided. We show a proof of concept on the applicability of this solution approach on a simple test case.
