Design and experimental analysis of legged locomotive robots
In this thesis, I present the design and motion-capture analysis of two previously well-studied dynamic-walking machines, the rimless wheel and the compass gait robot. These robots were the basis for my undergraduate research at the Computer Science/Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) at the …

Periodic operation of a diesel locomotive for fuel optimization
… made to reduce fuel costs of a diesel-electric locomotive by operating the locomotive in a periodic manner, as opposed to operating at a constant velocity. The periodic operation consisted of accelerating the locomotive in a high throttle position and then deccelerating at a low throttle …

Assessment of the expert locomotive engineer's mental Model through expert-novice interactions
Today, many long-haul freight locomotives around the world are equipped with autothrottle systems that follow pre-computed and fuel-efficient speed plans. However, these systems cannot adapt to changes in operational constraints or engineers' train handling preferences, which results in engineers …
