Abstract

The electric railway is an environment-friendly transportation system. An energy-saving operation with a low cost and high energy-saving efficiency is often considered to further decrease energy consumption. An Automatic Train Operation (ATO) system has the advantage of energy-saving because a train can be controlled by an on-board computer. However, many railway lines are still being operated by drivers and controlled via manual operation in addition, energy managements often become difficult for drivers and operators. Therefore, a study of energy-saving manual operation is desired. Energy verification of a manual operation is difficult because an adequate experiment has several constraints and trial periods are limited. Moreover, it requires a considerable amount of time and effort. In this study, an energy evaluation system is developed to calculate the energy consumed by a train when a driver manually operates it through adding an advanced calculation device to a conventional railway simulator. Consequently, the evaluation system contributes to carry out simple experiments with a short duration.

利用列车模拟器开发人工操作能量评估系统

电气化铁路是一种环保的交通系统。为了进一步降低能耗，通常考虑采用低成本、高节能效率的节能操作。列车自动运行(ATO)系统具有节能的优点，因为列车可以由车载计算机控制。然而，许多铁路线路仍然由司机操作，并通过人工操作控制。此外，司机和运营商的能源管理往往变得困难。因此，有必要对节能人工操作进行研究。手动操作的能量验证是困难的，因为充分的实验有几个约束条件，并且试验周期有限。此外，它需要相当多的时间和精力。本研究开发了一套能量评估系统，通过在传统的铁路模拟器上增加先进的计算装置，计算驾驶员手动操作列车时所消耗的能量。因此，该评价体系有助于进行简单、耗时短的实验。
