Optimizing a driving strategy for a hybrid diesel-electric locomotive and battery-electric locomotive consist

A method comprising:

• generating, by an analytics engine of a system, a driving strategy for a traveling route of a train based on saved data in the system, the train comprising at least one diesel-electric locomotive (DEL) and at least one battery-electric locomotive (BEL);
• operating, by a locomotive control system of the system, the train according to the driving strategy;
• receiving, by an energy management system of the system, update data associated with a current location of the train;
• revising, by the analytics engine, the driving strategy based on the saved data and the update data including:
• determining an amount of energy for the train to traverse a segment of the traveling route associated with the current location based on the driving strategy and the update data, and
• determining a distribution of the amount of energy between the at least one DEL and the at least one BEL based on the driving strategy and the update data;
• and
• operating, by the locomotive control system, the train according to the revised driving strategy.

Non-transitory computer-readable medium storing thereon processor-executable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a system, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

• generating, by an analytics engine of the system, a driving strategy for a traveling route of a train based on saved data in the system, the train comprising at least one diesel-electric locomotive (DEL) and at least one battery-electric locomotive (BEL);
• operating, by a locomotive control system of the system, the train according to the driving strategy;
• receiving, by an energy management system of the system, update data associated with a current location of the train;
• revising, by the analytics engine, the driving strategy based on the saved data and the update data including:
• monitoring components of the train,
• determining conditions of the monitored components,
• determining an amount of energy for the train to traverse a segment of the traveling route associated with the current location based on the driving strategy, the update data, and the conditions of the monitored components,
• determining a fuel status of diesel fuel of the at least one DEL and a battery status of batteries of the at least one BEL,
• determining a recharging opportunity of the batteries for the at least one BEL, and
• determining a distribution of the amount of energy between the at least one DEL and the at least one BEL based on the driving strategy, the update data, the conditions of the monitored components, the fuel status, the battery status, and the recharging opportunity;
• and
• operating, by the locomotive control system, the train according to the revised driving strategy.
