This abstract summarizes the research conducted on energy-saving potentials for commuter trains X60 based on the discussions held. The study aimed to analyze and identify strategies to reduce energy consumption in the railway system. The research methodology involved an analysis of various factors influencing energy usage focusing on traction-related systems.The findings of the study highlight the significant role of optimizing drive strategies in minimizing energy consumption. Through careful selection of acceleration and deceleration profiles, substantial energy savings can be achieved. Additionally, timetable adjustments were identified as a viable approach to reducing energy consumption without compromising travel time significantly. By considering energy-efficient timetabling strategies, rail systems can achieve notable reductions in energy usage. Furthermore, the research explored the potential benefits of planned motor switch-offduring cruising. Strategic management of motor groups during this phase can lead to enhanced energy efficiency and contribute to overall energy savings. By optimizing motor usage and minimizing unnecessary power consumption, significant reductions inenergy consumption can be attained. Combining multiple strategies, such as optimizing drive strategies, adjusting timetables,and implementing planned motor switch-off, offers a comprehensive approach to energy optimization in commuter trains. The research emphasizes the importance of considering these strategies in combination to achieve the greatest energy-saving potentials.The outcomes of this research provide valuable insights and recommendations for the railway industry. Incorporating optimized drive strategies into train software, implementing energy-efficient timetabling practices, and developing systems for planned motor switch-off can lead to substantial reductions in energy consumption. These findings contribute to the development of sustainable and energy-efficient operations inthe commuter train sector, ultimately benefiting both the environment and railway operators.
