This paper addresses this void by developing the NeTrainSim simulator +for heavy long-haul freight trains on a network of multiple intersecting tracks. The main +objective of this simulator is to enable a comprehensive analysis of energy consumption +and the associated carbon footprint for the entire train system. Four case studies were +conducted to demonstrate the simulator’s performance. The first case study validates the +model by comparing NeTrainSim output to empirical trajectory data. The results demonstrate +that the simulated trajectory is precise enough to estimate the train energy consumption +and carbon dioxide emissions. The second application demonstrates the train-following model +considering six trains following each other. The results showcase the model ability to maintain +safe-following distances between successive trains. The next study highlights the simulator’s +ability to resolve train conflicts for different scenarios. Finally, the suitability of the +NeTrainSim for modeling realistic railroad networks is verified through the modeling of the +entire US network and comparing alternative powertrains on the fleet energy consumption. -repository-code: https://github.com/AhmedAredah/NeTrainSim +repository-code: https://github.com/VTTI-CSM/NeTrainSim license: GPLv3 authors: - given-names: Ahmed @@ -34,6 +35,8 @@ authors: family-names: Rakha affiliation: Virginia Tech orcid: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5845-2929 + +Other Contributers: - given-names: George family-names: List affiliation: North Carolina State University @@ -43,8 +46,9 @@ authors: - given-names: Andreas family-names: Hoffrichter affiliation: Deutsch Bahn + keywords: - NeTrainSim - Network Trains Simulation - Energy Consumption - - Environmental Footprint \ No newline at end of file + - Environmental Footprint
