The development of a reliable database for traction energy demand can provide valuable information for decision-making processes in railways. Barriers and costs are low. Consumption data generated by simulation should be seen as a powerful instrument to predict the effect of different measures. Empirical consumption data from on-board measurements can be used to verify and refine simulations. |
