METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLING A RAILWAY CONSIST

摘要

An apparatus (100) for controlling a railway consist (105), the apparatus (100) comprising: a consist model (110) adapted for computing an objective functio n (120) from a set of candidate driving plans (130) and a set of model parameters (140); a parameter identifier (150) adapted for calculating the model parameters (140 ) from a set of consist measurements (160); and a trajectory optimizer (170) adapted for generating the candidate driving plans (130) and for selecting an optimal driving plan (180) to optimize the objective function (120) subject to a set of terminal constraints and operating constraints.
