PSO-based optimal operation strategy of energy saving control for train

The typical models and algorithms of energy saving control for a train are introduced and summarized. According to one of energy-efficient mathematical models which usually use GA algorithm to solve, a new algorithm based on particle swarm optimization is applied for the model. Through calculation for a cited example, simulation results such as speed-position curve are got. Compared with other methods, it demonstrates this new PSO-based algorithm has a better performance and can be considered to be put into practical use.
