Analysis and assessment of eco-driving strategies for train drivers training

Summary - In the framework of increasing attention, at European level, for environmental protection and energy saving, represented by the objectives of the 20-20-20 Package, part of the European Directive 2009/29 [1], the study of energy efficiency in trains driving increase its relevance, whereas the interest in environmental and economic issues converge with resource optimization. This study, carried out in collaboration between the Department of Civil, Building and Environmental Engineering (DICEA) of Sapienza University of Rome and Trenitalia, is divided into two macro activities: 1) analysis and assessment of the in- dependently drivers’ driving profiles based on real and sim- ulated driving cycles; 2) analysis and assessment of driving profiles adopted in response to a generic “energy-efficient” driving input.
