1. A method, comprising:
sending an activation signal to an energy saving device of equipment onboard a vehicle, the activation signal configured to alternatingly activate and deactivate the energy saving device that applies an operation control signal to the equipment onboard the vehicle, the operation control signal generated based on electrical energy produced from braking of the vehicle;
obtaining a consumption signal indicative of electrical power consumed by an electricity supply network supplying the electrical power to a vehicle fleet that includes the vehicle; and
deducing a reduction in the electrical power consumed by the electricity supply network in response to the activation signal.
