A rail vehicle including a plurality of components and an optimization system coupled to the components and configured to receive input data and, based on the received input data, generate a plurality of candidate speed profiles and select, among the candidate speed profiles, an optimized speed profile for driving the rail vehicle, the optimized speed profile minimizing the energy consumption of the rail vehicle. The input data comprise: kinematics data determined in real-time and indicative of real-time kinematics information of the rail vehicle; track data indicative of a path to be travelled by the rail vehicle; constraint data indicative of constraints for the functioning of the rail vehicle; and component condition data comprising operating parameters determined in real-time and indicative of the real-time functioning of the components.
