- The paper details a novel approach to improving capacity while reducing the energy required for mainline and metro railway operations; the approach also improves safety and passenger comfort. The paper provides a comparison between a number of commonly used driving styles and optimisation techniques. It is found that cost savings of around 15% can be achieved through the application of this method. The work is now being taken forward through an industry-funded project with Guangzhou Metro, where the intention is to implement the approach on Lines 7, 16 and 21.
