On The Adaptive Control of Railway Tilting Coaches

摘要

This paper present an adaptive control scheme for railway tilting coaches based on a new nonlinear multibody system dynamics model. Making use of the fundamental properties of the tilting coaches, an adaptive algorithm is developed, which consists of a PD feedback part and a full dynamics feedforward compensation part with the uncertain parameters being estimated online. A computer simulation study is conducted to evaluate the performance of it. The result shows that the riding comfort of coachesis improved effectively.
