Abstract Energy efficiency is paid more and more attention in railway systems for reducing the cost of operation companies and emissions to the environment. We both consider the optimizations on timetable and driving strategy are two important and closely dependent parts of energy-efficient operations. It not only regulates the fleet size and the trip time at infestations, but also determines the control sequences of traction and braking force during the trip. In this paper, we analysis and establish the dynamic model of train and build single train optimization Model between two stations and three stations, then propose an iterative search algorithm to get the optimal speed, which can get better energy-saving performance. The simulation results based on a Subway Line in China illustrate that the iterative search algorithm can provide good performance with energy saving.
