Trip Optimizer: Development of a Driver Assistance System for Locomotives Using MATLAB
Joe Wakeman, GE Transportation
GE's Trip Optimizer product is an energy management system for heavy-haul freight locomotives. The system considers all factors that can affect the operation of the train and automatically controls throttle and dynamic brakes to operate the train smoothly and efficiently. This presentation covers the current state of the art of driver assistance technology in the rail industry before delving into the finer details of how the Trip Optimizer engineering team uses MATLAB® products in each phase of the engineering life cycle. The session also covers a unique approach the team has taken to integrate the optimization library with the MATLAB code generation toolset.
