Controller Design for Heavy-haul Train System
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper the existing control methods for train control in the various areas such as energy consumption and travelling time are examined. A closedloop cruise controller to minimise the in-train force in the couplers is proposed. Simulation results for both regulation and disturbance rejection are given.

Optimal Cruise Control of Heavy-haul Train Equipped with Electronic Controlled Pneumatic Brake Systems
In this paper a closed-loop cruise controller to minimise the running costs of the heavy-haul train is proposed. Consideration is given to velocity tracking, intrain force and fuel consumption, as well as optimisation of them. To overcome the communication constraints, a fencing concept is introduced whereby the controller is reconfigured adaptively to the current track topology. Simulation res...
متن کاملA parametric model of the train delay distribution to improve planning of heavy haul cycle times
Efficient heavy haul operations require accurate predictions of terminal arrival times and equipment cycle times. Most analytical and parametric approaches for railway capacity evaluation and operations planning focus on predicting average train delay and not the performance of individual trains and their delay distribution. In practice, train delay varies about this average according to some d...
متن کاملSpeed regulation with measured output feedback in the control of heavy haul trains
An approach of output regulation with measurement feedback is proposed for the control of heavy haul trains. The objective is to regulate all cars’ speeds to a prescribed speed profile. The output regulation problem of nonlinear systems with measurement feedback is formulated and solved for the first time in this paper. Its application to train control is detailed. Simulation result shows the f...

Thus, braketraction control and vehicle maneuverability can be improved consider ably .This study developeda new active su...
متن کاملConstrained Controller Design for Real-time Delay Recovery in Metro Systems
This study is concerned with the real-time delay recovery problem in metro loop lines. Metro is the backbone of public transportation system in large cities. A discrete event model for traffic system of metro loop lines is derived and presented. Two effective automatic controllers, linear quadratic regulator (LQR) and model predictive controller (MPC), are used to recover train delays. A newly-...
