Abstract:

This paper firstly gives a brief introduction to parameters that affect energy consumption of a railway system. Secondly, some related previous studies carried out by the authors will be summarized, and energy wise driving of trains and its effect on the power consumption will be examined with the help of a DC rail system simulation program.
