Abstract :
This paper compares different models and simulation approaches for an energetic simulation of an automatic subway. For this purpose, several models are carried out from a dynamic model, which is validated by comparison with experimental measurements. Furthermore, two different simulation approaches are compared, i.e., backward and forward approaches. A simplified model is obtained and allows the reduction of the simulation time by 96 compared with the dynamic model by keeping an accuracy value of more than 99%.
