Abstract
Simulation of an energy consumption in transport is often used due to satisfactory accuracy and cost efficiency. The simulation is not influenced by many surrounding factors which are acting during the measurements in real operation. This paper due to the simulation of energy consumption an GHG production of two similar trains which use different types of drive and energy wells in the same chosen railway with more variants of capacity utilization. The software Dynamics of Train is used for the simulation.
