- Additional information
- The paper details the results of a UK Rail Safety and Standards Board sponsored project (Grant T1071), where a new optimisation technique using the pseudospectral method has been developed to solve the classical optimal train control problem. A follow-up Royal Academy of Engineering Newton Fund project (UK-CIAPP\286) has seen the method being trialled in the automatic train operation (ATO) system of Beijing Metro Line 7, and the test results yield an 11% saving in the train traction energy consumption as compared to driving under its default ATO.
