ENERGY OPTIMISATION DURING OPERATION OF A RAIL VEHICLE FLEET

摘要

The invention relates to a method for energy-optimised operation of a rail vehicle fleet (2), in which the rail vehicle fleet (2) comprises n rail vehicles (4, 4a-4c), each of which comprises a state-influencing system (14) for influencing a vehicle state, which system can generate and/or consume electrical energy, and a computer unit (38) trained by means of a machine learning method, and, for every i of 1 to n during operation of the rail vehicle fleet (2) an action (60) to be applied to the state-influencing system (14) of the i-th rail vehicle is selected by the computer unit (38) of the i-th rail vehicle of the n rail vehicles (4, 4a-4c) while taking into account at least one target criterion for the i-th rail vehicle and according to vehicle-, location- and/or route-related status parameters (58), which action, when applied to the state-influencing system (14) of the i-th rail vehicle, contributes to the optimisation of an electrical total energy balance of the state-influencing systems of the rail vehicle fleet (2), and - the selected action (60) is applied to the state-influencing system (14) of the i-th rail vehicle, wherein i and n are natural numbers and n is greater than 1.
