Method for minimizing the electricity consumption required for a public transport network and associated algorithmic platform

摘要

A method for minimizing the electricity consumption required for a public transport network that includes several consumers such as electric vehicles. When the vehicles brake, they deliver energy which is recoverable by consumers on the network, such as moving vehicles. A timetable of running orders for all the vehicles is produced, taking account of at least the following parameters: a dynamic location of each vehicle, a stop schedule for each vehicle outside a stop zone, a start schedule for each vehicle in a stop zone in the network; depending on time and motion variations in at least one of said parameters, at least some of the running orders in the timetable are modified chronologically according to a criterion for the maximum distribution of energy recovered from braking to consumers potentially actively requiring power. The timetable is delivered to the vehicles. An associated algorithmic platform may implement the novel process.

1. A method for minimizing an electricity consumption in a public transport network having a plurality of consumers being electric vehicles, the method comprising:
delivering electrical energy from vehicles during braking, the energy to be recovered by consumers on the transport network, the consumers including moving vehicles; generating a timetable of running orders for all the vehicles in the transport network taking account of at least the following parameters:
a dynamic location of each vehicle;a stop schedule for each vehicle outside a stop zone; anda start schedule for each vehicle in a stop zone in the transport network; depending on time and motion variations in at least one of the parameters, modifying at least some of the running orders in the timetable chronologically according to at least one criterion for a maximum distribution of energy recovered from braking to consumers potentially actively requiring power, wherein the running orders are modified within a reasonable maximum time interval so as to not disturb an imposed minimum traffic frequency and maintain a service to passengers within the reasonable maximum time interval when countering disturbances and unforeseen events, and wherein the running orders are quasi-continuously modified so as to not significantly disturb global traffic of several neighboring vehicles in terms of passenger service and electricity consumption when countering the disturbances and unforeseen events; and delivering the timetable with the running orders to the vehicles.
