Impact of Symmetric Vertical Sinusoid Alignments on Infrastructure Construction Costs: Optimizing Energy Consumption in Metropolitan Railway Lines Using Artificial Neural Networks

Abstract Minimizing energy consumption is a key issue from both an environmental and economic perspectives for railways systems; however, it is also important to reduce infrastructure construction costs. In the present work, an artificial neural network (ANN) was trained to estimate the energy consu...
