    Abstract: A train control system uses sensory inputs related to operational parameters of a train for automatically scoring or classifying particular train driving strategies implemented by a machine learning model for a particular train operating on a predefined route or route segment. The train control system includes one or more predefined rules related to one or more of a first set of the operational parameters, wherein each of the rules defines a Boolean, true or false classification based on whether a particular train driving strategy results in one or more of the first set of operational parameters complying with the rule. One or more comparative key performance indicators are related to one or more of a second set of operational parameters, and are used to rank the particular train driving strategy for the predefined route or route segment relative to a different train driving strategy for the same or comparable route or route segment.

    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.
