| Summary: | Abstract: The subject of this work is the analysis of the benefits of implementing
intelligent railway traffic management systems with regard to achieving smooth train
operation and, consequently, reducing the train’s traction energy consumption. The
analysis refers to technical solutions used on European railways that enable the
optimization of train traffic. One of the factors allowing such optimization is the shaping of
the train’s speed profile so that the travel time to a signal showing “Stop” is not shorter
than the expected time until the signal changes to allow further travel. As part of this
analysis, traffic simulations were carried out based on the ETR610 ED250-type train
model, for different variants of train speed control and two variants of the preliminary
distance to the signal. The result of the work includes observations on the possibility of
implementing intelligent railway traffic management systems, including a comparison of
possible savings in traction energy consumption.
