  • Abstract
    In this paper we study the optimisation of railway driving profiles to minimise energy consumption. An optimisation model is proposed for designing the optimal driving profile and a solution procedure. The model and method are tested on some railway sections in order to estimate the potential effects of energy-efficient driving on consumption.
