  Increasing greenhouse gas (GHG) emission is one of the most important
concerns of world decision-makers. The considerable part of it belongs to the
transportation systems. As a solution, the world is going to use urban
electrical transportation systems, and thus designing optimal methods and novel
strategies is essential nowadays. Indeed, reducing the amount of consumed
electrical energy and having optimum and efficient energy management for
electrical means of transport requires several vital elements. Designing a
travel profile is one of the most crucial parts of these methods. A travel
profile for the fully electric train ET245 with three stations is designed and
analyzed in Milan, Italy, as a case study in this paper. As the first step,
route data are acquired by the Google Maps tool. Then, the train data is
collected from the manufacturer's catalogues and datasheets. Finally,
computations were performed by Excel spreadsheets. The results indicate that
the designed path in the proposed travel profile is covered by a commercial
speed and requires reasonable electrical energy, which is considered economical
and advantageous.
