Abstract
A method for energy-optimized operation of a rail vehicle fleet. The fleet includes n rail vehicles, each with a state-influencing system for influencing a vehicle state to generate and/or consume electrical energy and a computer unit trained by machine learning. For every i of 1 to n during operation of the rail vehicle fleet an action to be applied to the state-influencing system of the i-th rail vehicle is selected by the computer unit of the i-th rail vehicle while taking into account at least one target criterion for the i-th rail vehicle and according to vehicle, location, and/or route-related status parameters. The action, when applied to the state-influencing system of the i-th rail vehicle, contributes to the optimization of an electrical total energy balance of the state-influencing systems of the rail vehicle fleet, and the selected action is applied to the state-influencing system of the i-th rail vehicle.
