Imagine a world where freight trains glide effortlessly over varying terrains, respecting speed restrictions and adjusting to ever-changing operating conditions while saving fuel.
Welcome to that world made possible with Wabtec's Trip Optimizer™. It's not just a smart cruise control—it's an intelligent system tailored for trains. 通过精确计算最佳速度剖面, 考虑到火车长度和重量等因素, 年级, 和组成, Trip Optimizer解决方案套件旨在节省燃料, 提高安全, 并彻底改变火车旅行,一次优化一次.
Wabtec在重载货运领域处于领先地位, 行程优化系统已经在世界范围内使用, with over 973 million miles traveled on 20 different railroads across five continents. Also, the Trip Optimizer has been certified by the EPA as a fuel-savings product. 通过投资可持续发展, Wabtec is leveraging real time physics-based algorithms with the big picture goal of positioning the Trip Optimizer to do the heavy lifting for train drivers so they can navigate more massive (often up to two miles long), 复杂的列车. 这个想法并不是要取代司机, 而是为了让他们的工作更容易管理, while offering drivers opportunities to be more vigilant to safety related concerns. Trip Optimizer also streamlines driver training so that companies can onboard new recruits faster.
凯龙·维加斯, Trip Optimizer的首席产品经理, 与产品团队和工程团队一起, 这是关于持续创新, 完善, 提高列车运行管理水平.
“当我们的客户开始建造更大的房子, and more complicated trains…you quickly start pushing the boundaries of physics in terms of what you can model. That’s where we’re harnessing advanced technologies to help augment our physics models and improve train handling,维加斯说。.
While the Trip Optimizer’s innovation over the past 12 years has been steady, there’s also been a resounding impact that goes beyond the technology.
Starting with Wabtec’s VP of Product Management for Trip Optimizer, 戴夫·, 谁是产品的代言人, playing a very hands-on role from its inception up until the first system was sold in 2009, 到今天的位置. Viegas recalls watching Eldredge’s dedication along his early career journey with Wabtec. “当时我们还没有卖出我们的第一个系统, 但戴夫和顾客在一起, 在铁路上坐火车, 将该系统安装在迪士尼3彩乐园上并进行测试, getting feedback…so he’s grown it from there to where it is today.”
然后是用户. 在过去的15年, 所有的铁路都通往墨尔本, 佛罗里达, as over 100 Trip Optimizer customers make their way down to the annual LOCOTROL and Trip Optimizer’s Users Conference. 四天, 与会者聚集在一起与演讲者和研讨会, 他们在哪里分享他们的成功故事, 最佳实践, 和挑战, while Wabtec’s product team shares the Optimizer’s latest advances and progress. “It’s an amazing forum for us to bring our customers together so they can share ideas and it gives us insights into what’s important for the customer. It’s been very successful in terms of the level of collaboration and feedback we get from users,维加斯说.
Here’s a breakdown of five cutting-edge product additions that work in tandem with the Trip Optimizer (and why they matter):
Wabtec继续推动行程优化器的发展, 扩大其操作范围,提高燃油效率. “The product is not static—we keep developing innovations,维加斯说。. “在这款产品问世的12年里, we’ve gone from a very bare bones system to a comprehensive suite of offerings for energy management. 这还没完. 我们不断对产品提出新的改进. 这就是我们不断取得成功的原因.”
