Based on the mature energy-saving strategy of a single train, the optimization of multiple trains' trajectories is studied. A cooperative control model is formulated with the utilization of the regenerative energy considered, which is used to calculate the total energy consumption of an electric subway system under various energy-saving control strategies. Taking the cooperative operation of two trains within the same section of an electrical system as an example, the front one adopt the optimal driving strategy with four modes of movement, which are the maximum traction, cruising, coasting, and the maximum braking by sequence. The latter is controlled by the strategy with four movement modes (mentioned earlier) and five movement modes (namely, the maximum traction, cruising/coasting, the maximum traction, coasting, and the maximum braking), respectively. The minimum energy consumption under different departure headway is calculated by using a heuristic algorithm. It turned out that the optimal energy-saving control strategy can be obtained with the departure headway given, and an energy-saving control strategy corresponding to the minimum energy consumption can be worked out too. The proposed energy-saving strategy can reduce energy consumption by 19.2% at the most.
