METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR INCREASING EFFICIENCY OF ROLLING STOCK

摘要

The invention is intended for conserving energy expended by railway rolling stock, for instance by a locomotive when carrying out train operations and shunting, when trains are run in an automatic mode or in a train operator assistance mode. A method for increasing the efficiency of rolling stock includes the following steps: obtaining the parameters of the rolling stock, including at least the following: speed, coordinates, overhead system voltage, traction engine current voltage, brake line discharging; in addition, determining at least the dependence parameters of an active traction force, braking force, motion resistance force, force of wheel adherence to the rails, and the mass of the rolling stock; then, determining the optimal control to be carried out by traction and braking equipment of railway rolling stock based on the dependence parameters obtained during the previous step; then, transmitting the optimal control, determined during the previous step, to a rolling stock control system for implementation or for displaying to the train operator.

1. A method of enhancing performance of a train according to the invention involves the following steps:
train parameters are obtained, which include at least the following:
speed, coordinates, traction drive voltage, traction engine currents, brake discharging value; at least dependency values of effective traction effort, braking effort, resistance to movement force, wheel-to-rail traction force and the weight of the train; optimal control data is determined to be implemented by traction and braking equipment of a railway train, based on dependency values obtained at the previous step; the optimal control data determined at the previous step is relayed to the train's control system to be executed, or displayed to the driver.
