Abstract

Faced with rising energy costs, fleet owners are increasingly turning to the Leader driver advisory system (iCOM Assist) to improve the overall efficiency of rail vehicle operations. The system uses route, train and timetable data to calculate the best options to save energy, and provides the train driver with relevant recommendations. These can result in fuel savings of more than 10 %, as well as reduced wear and tear from in-train forces. Leading European freight operator DB Schenker Rail AG is currently installing Leader systems in 300 of its locomotives.
