Advanced braking control strategies for trains
thesis
posted on 2018-02-26, 15:57 authored by Mustafa R. AbuzeidThe thesis describes modelling methods that are being developed to support the design
and evaluation of intelligent railway braking control systems. A particular feature is
that the models include higher order vehicle and train dynamics, the effects of which
are expected to become important as the performance of braking systems improve. The
thesis describes mathematical techniques for modelling braking systems starting with
braking of a single wheelset on its own, then a single braked wheelset in a bogie,
followed by a single braked wheelset in a complete vehicle and finally four wheelsets
braked in a complete vehicle. The mathematical model for the braking system
combines the non-linear creep laws governing the braking forces generated between
wheel and rail with the suspension dynamics of a typical high speed railway vehicle. [Continues.]
