Preview control of active suspension for railway vehicles (2nd report, simulation by full vehicle model with 17 DOF)

摘要

Active suspensions have been considered for improving the ride quality of railway vehicles. In this study a combined control by preview and H_∞ control is considered for active suspension of railway vehicles. The control effect on yawing motion and the effects on other motions are confirmed by simulation using a full vehicle model with 17 DOF. In real railway vehicles, creep coefficient between wheels and rails varies according to the condition.
