With the rising energy prices and increasing environmental awareness, the energy efficiency of metro transit system has attracted much attention in recent years. This study proposes a two-step optimisation method to optimise speed profile and timetable, aiming to reduce the operational energy consumption of metro transit system. First, a coasting point searching algorithm is designed to reduce tractive energy consumption by optimising speed profile and running time distribution scheme. Then, a mixed-integer linear programming model is constructed to maximise the overlap time between the accelerating and braking phases by optimising headway and dwell time, in order to improve the utilisation of regenerative braking energy (RBE). Furthermore, numerical simulations are presented based on the data from a Guangzhou Metro Line. The results show that the tractive energy consumption can be reduced by 8.46% and the utilisation of RBE can be improved by 11.6%.
