This paper proposes a new method for the determination of optimal control strategy with considering multiple time constraints. For the train on a level track, the optimal train control model is firstly formulated. Then, with the given control sequences, Kuhn-Tucker condition is used to deduce the necessary conditions for a strategy of optimal type and an analytical solution with the minimum energy consumption is proposed to calculate the optimal control strategy which contains the specific switching points for the given control sequence. Finally, two realistic examples will be applied to illustrate the numerical calculation procedures and prove the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
