Energy Consumption Optimization in Transportion industry

Energy costs in transportation systems constitute a significant part of the total cost. So far, various solutions to reduce energy consumption have been proposed and implemented in different modes of transportation

Among others, it is possible to mention the modification of the route, the conversion of internal combustion engines to electric systems, the use of hybrid systems, creating a balance between the engine capability and the amount of load, etc.

In EnergyMizer system, the goal is to modify the speed profile on the route and make maximum use of its topography, climate conditions, fleet length and load, brake system capabilities, permitted speed, etc.

The EnergyMizer system developed in this company has the following features and benefits:

• Reduction of fuel and energy consumption
• Accurate measurement of fuel and energy consumption in the fleet
• Ability to manage energy
• Reducing the costs of fleet maintenance and repair
• Improving train safety by controlling speed and preventing excessive speed increase
• Improve passenger comfort
• Reducing pollution

  Parameters used in rail transport

• Topographical data of the route including gradient and elevation, arcs, station distances
• Locomotive data including load, dynamic coefficients and resistances, engine power, braking system
• Data of wagons including number, type, amount of load
• Data of the signaling system, including the installation location of the signals, movement orders
