Optimisation of traction software |
|
evaluated |
|
|
|
In modern electric stock, various components of the power train are regulated and operated by an on-board computer. In many cases the corresponding software offers considerable potential for optimisation from an energetic point of view. In these cases a software modification of existing stock is an interesting option.

Vehicle - fix costs: low |
|
|
|
|
|
Mainly personnel costs for realising software change. Strongly dependent on number of identical vehicles. |

|
Scale effects: medium |
|
|
|
|
|
For every vehicle series personnel costs for realising software change are fix costs. There are therefore strong scale effects achievable when optimising a large vehicle series. |

|
|
|
Amortisation: (no data) |
|
|
|
|
|
Amortisation periods heavily depend on number of vehicles in one series and optimisation potential but will be generally short. |
