• Rail transportation is used extensively in urban areas to reduce CO 2 emission and increase road capacity. As a result, the energy efficiency of rail transportation is becoming a popular research topic. Energy-efficient train operation involves four types of control: maximal traction, cruising, coasting, and maximal braking. With the rapid development of energy storage devices (ESDs), this paper aims to develop an integrated optimization model to obtain the speed trajectory with the constraint of on-board ESD properties such as capacity, initial state of energy (SOE), and the degradation of the on-board ESD. Mixed integer linear programming is implemented on the discretized distance-based model to find the solution. In addition to the optimal speed trajectory, the on-board ESD discharge/charge operation strategy will be obtained. Results show that with high on-board ESD capacity, a train tends to apply more braking to recover more energy by using ESD; high initial SOE leads to more traction operation but undermines the energy-recovering process; degradation of on-board ESD influences the train operation and net energy consumption by affecting discharge/charge frequency. Additionally, in the case with on-board ESD, more than 11.6% of net energy consumption can be reduced compared with the one without on-board ESD. This paper indicates that the proposed method is an effective and robust way to study how on-board ESD influences optimal train operation as well as to achieve optimal train speed trajectory with on-board ESD.
