Fuzzy Logic Slip Control Design for Railway Vehicles

摘要

In railway vehicles, friction decrease between wheel and rail leads to slip rise and thus to wheel and rail damage and tractive effort is decreased. That is why employing an appropriate slip control method seems to be essential. In the paper, a slip control system has been offered through the fuzzy logic and the results obtained have been tested on the dynamic model of a typical locomotive. Finally the output results from the controller have been compared with PI controller.
