Trip Optimizer is a locomotive control system enhancement applicable to diesel-electric hauled freight that can achieve double-digit fuel savings. Energy savings derive from managing train momentum, with anticipation of its effects, to reduce the net energy outlay by the train as it completes a trip. GE’s system has two major components: the first is a planning system that derives an optimal way to drive the train (throttle together with a corresponding speed trajectory versus distance) subject to speed restrictions along the route and locomotive operating constraints; the second is a dynamic control system that executes the plan closed-loop, correcting for modeling errors from various sources and assuring proper train handling consistent with railroad requirements. To compute a plan, information about the track to be traversed (grade and curvature versus milepost), the power consist makeup (number and type of operational locomotives) and load (tonnage, train length etc) is required together with updated speed restrictions, work crew locations, and other constraints that may vary from day-to-day. This paper first gives an overview of the Trip Optimizer system in operation as implemented on GE Evolution locomotives. Next, key components in the architecture are briefly described, including how the system is operated with the aid of graphic interfaces. Results of pilot testing of the production system on various revenue service trains on Class 1 railroad’s territories are then summarized to demonstrate actual fuel savings in the 4-13% range while achieving acceptable train handling.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying ThemAggregage
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs
