ECOTRAX
This is a proof of concept project for an eco-driving product for trains.
Project partners are collecting real-time train journey and infrastructure related data (e.g. speeds, energy consumption, relevant infrastructure and environmental conditions) and developing algorithms which will support a new driver advisory system.
We are using a participative approach to design the interface for the driver advisory system, using input from drivers and other relevant stakeholders in focus groups, scenario studies and simulator studies.
The ECOTRAX project is funded by INET and partners include the Nottingham Geospatial Institute, University of Nottingham, Nottingham Scientific Limited, Integrated Vehicle Technologies, with support from East Midlands Trains.
