INVESTIGATIONS INTO THE TRACTION MODES OF FREIGHT TRAINS UNDER FLUCTUATING ELECTRICITY TARIFFS

Аннотация

Abstract: This scholarly work investigates the nuanced intricacies associated with the selection of traction modes for freight trains, specifically within the framework of dynamic electricity tariff variations. The research employs methodologies grounded in fuzzy control theory and rule-based approaches to scrutinize the repercussions of fluctuating electricity costs on the optimization of traction modes in railway systems. Through a meticulous exploration of these complexities, the study endeavors to provide valuable contributions to the domain of railway operations, underscoring the imperative for adaptive strategies in response to the variability inherent in electricity tariffs.
