Abstract

The authors focus in the paper on the procedure of calculating payments for traction electricity in the conditions of Správa železnic, s.o. (Railway Administration, the national railway infrastructure manager in the Czech Republic). Specific measures to technological factors that cause higher train power consumption are discussed. In the next section, the numerical solution of the train motion and the design of a simulation model for the possibility of computational assessment of the traction energy consumption of the train are described. A simulation model is proposed to numerically solve the train equation of motion. For the purpose of this paper, a specific track section and a specific train are selected. The results are compared with real recorded data obtained from the operation.
