机车车辆和列车检测系统兼容性标准制定历史及若干问题分析

机车车辆和列车检测系统的兼容性涉及行车安全,欧洲TSI中对其有明确的要求和配套标准,近年来中国国内也制定了类似标准,但以修改采用IEC或EN相关标准为主,总体上系统性研究较为缺乏。通过文献研究法,搜集整理了国内外机车车辆和列车检测系统兼容性标准和相关欧洲研究项目等资料,对标准的演进和完善过程进行了梳理和总结,并选取当前标准制定和运用中的若干问题进行分析。历经20年,欧洲包括EN 50238系列和EN 50617系列的兼容性标准体系已经基本建成,TSI中关于欧洲频率管理(FrM)的开口项也已初步关闭。IEC仅针对EN 50238第1部分制定了IEC 62427标准,而中国现行相关国家标准并不完善。建议立足中国铁路特点开展相关理论研究和系统测试,确定符合我国实际的干扰电流限值,完善相关标准体系。     

受限状态下的高速列车迭代学习控制方法研究

针对受限状态下的高速列车自动驾驶系统的跟踪控制问题,基于列车动力学模型,提出一种带饱和函数的迭代学习控制算法。根据Lyapunov稳定性原理,利用列车运行过程中的状态偏差,推导出基于迭代学习控制的列车自动运行控制律。建立类Lyapunov的复合能量函数,通过在迭代域的差分,证明了其差分负定性和有界性,所设计的算法能够控制列车在迭代域对期望运行轨迹达到渐近收敛。采用本文提出的迭代学习控制算法对列车的跟踪性能进行验证,并与PID控制和D型迭代学习控制算法进行比较,结果表明:相较于其他两种算法,本文提出的算法在第3次迭代中就能控制列车精确跟踪期望轨迹,说明算法具有较快的收敛速度和较高的跟踪精度,且能够将控制输入约束在允许范围内。

Modelling and validation of coupled high-speed maglev train-and-viaduct systems considering support flexibility

This study presents a more realistic modelling of the maglev-based high-speed railway line in Shanghai, China. Focus is placed on an accurate simulation of the two subsystems: the train subsystem including the magnets and the viaduct subsystem including the modular function units of the rails. The electromagnet force–air gap model with a proportional-derivative (PD) controller is adopted to simulate the interaction between the maglev train via its electromagnets and the viaduct via its modular function units. The flexibilities of the rails, girders, piers and associated elastic bearings are all considered in the modelling of the viaduct subsystem to investigate their effects on an interaction between the two subsystems. By applying the proposed model to the Shanghai maglev line, the essential characteristics of the coupled system can be duly captured. The accuracy and effectiveness of the proposed approach are then validated by comparing the computed dynamic responses and frequencies with the measurement results. It is confirmed that the proposed modelling with a detailed simulation of the magnets and modular function units can duly account for the dynamic interaction between the train and viaduct systems. Moreover, the effects of the inclusion of the flexibilities of the rails, girders and elastic supports to the response of the coupled system are respectively investigated, the results of which prove that their involvements are essential to the accurate prediction of the response of the coupled maglev train–viaduct system.     

Train routing and timetabling problem for heterogeneous train traffic with switchable scheduling rules

This paper proposes a mathematical model for the train routing and timetabling problem that allows a train to occasionally switch to the opposite track when it is not occupied, which we define it as switchable scheduling rule. The layouts of stations are taken into account in the proposed mathematical model to avoid head-on and rear-end collisions in stations. In this paper, train timetable could be scheduled by three different scheduling rules, i.e., no switchable scheduling rule (No-SSR) which allows trains switching track neither at stations and segments, incomplete switchable scheduling rule (In-SSR) which allows trains switching track at stations but not at segments, and complete switchable scheduling rule (Co-SSR) which allows trains switching track both at stations and segments. Numerical experiments are carried out on a small-scale railway corridor and a large-scale railway corridor based on Beijing–Shanghai high-speed railway (HSR) corridor respectively. The results of case studies indicate that Co-SSR outperforms the other two scheduling rules. It is also found that the proposed model can improve train operational efficiency.     

Pneumatic train brake simulation method

The design of new pneumatic brakes for rail vehicles or improvements of existing ones can be made better or more efficient by the use of a simulation method. This paper gives a general presentation of the author’s modelling methods used for solving problems relating to railway pneumatic brakes. The brake models in this paper (slightly different from those of other authors) take into account air-wave phenomena including air viscosity, the influence of the brake pipe branches, heat transfer in the brake pipes and reservoirs, air flows in the brake valves and the dynamics of moving mechanical parts. For various simulation purposes, separate partial models with different levels of accuracy were created. Various verifications and identifications of the models were performed with the use of train brake testing facilities, including both in-house and other test stands. A variety of examples of simulation results are presented here.

Stability and performance analysis of a full-train system with inerters

This paper discusses the use of inerters to improve the stability and performance of a full-train system. First, we construct a 28 degree-of-freedom train model in AutoSim, and obtain a linearised model for analysis in Matlab. Then, the benefits of inerters are investigated by the critical speed, settling time and passenger comfort. In addition, we apply a new mechatronic network for further performance improvement, and synthesise the optimal electrical circuit for experimental verification. From the results, inerters are shown to be effective in improving the stability and performance of train systems.
