Improving the efficiency of route passenger transport systems by using recovered energy

\nThis article analyzes the problems associated with increasing the efficiency of route passenger transport systems, with an in-depth consideration of tram subsystems. The focus is on using recovered electrical energy to optimize the operation of trams. The recovered energy produced during vehicle braking or deceleration can be effectively stored in on-board storage devices and then used to power the tram's traction system. The article makes the case for the relevance of this proposal, emphasizing not only the potential benefits in efficiency and resource savings, but also its significance in terms of reducing emissions and environmental sustainability of the public transport system. Schemes for implementing this approach are presented, including technical aspects of implementation and possible algorithms for controlling the energy storage and distribution system. An important element of the analysis is to determine the expected economic effect from the implementation of the proposed system. The authors of the article present an assessment of the economic benefits that can be achieved by reducing energy costs for traction and reducing the costs of maintaining and operating the transport system. Potential investments and financial aspects of implementing a new system are also discussed, which makes this study interesting both for engineers and technical specialists, as well as for economists and managers in the field of transport infrastructure.\n
