Method for minimising the electricity consumption of a public transport network, and associated computational platform

The present invention describes a method for minimizing electrical consumption required for a public transport network comprising several consumers such as electric vehicles, said vehicles under braking delivering energy recoverable by network consumers such as vehicles in motion, characterized in that - a timetable of operating orders for all vehicles is established taking into account at least the following parameters: dynamic localization of each vehicle, a stopping schedule of each vehicle outside a stopping zone, a departure schedule of each vehicle within a stopping zone in the transport network; - depending on temporal and kinematic variations of at least one of said parameters, at least part of the operating orders of the timetable is modified chronologically according to at least one criterion of maximum distribution of energy recovered from braking to consumers in potential active power demand; - the timetable comprising the orders is delivered to the vehicles. An associated algorithmic platform is also proposed in order to implement the method according to the invention.
