Managing Vehicle Energy use Based on Future Energy Demand
Abstract:
A system includes one or more processors and memory storing processor-executable instructions that cause the one or more processors to perform operations. The operations include generating a driving strategy for a traveling route of a train comprising at least one battery-electric locomotive (BEL) based on saved data in the system for optimizing one or more aspects for the train over the traveling route; operating the train according to the driving strategy; receiving update data associated with a current location of the train; revising the driving strategy based on the saved data and the update data for optimizing energy consumption efficiency for a segment of the traveling route by identifying active powered components of the train that are non-essential for traversing the segment and turning off power to one or more of the identified active powered components for a duration of traversing the segment.
