This study proposes an anti‐slip control system for electric trains based on the fuzzy logic
theory, which prevents the wheels from slipping during the acceleration and simultaneously …

Railway traction vehicles transfer forces between wheels and rails through an adhesion
coefficient. The adhesion coefficient value can decrease abruptly during the train run …

Wheelset intermittent over-creeps (WIOs), ie, slips or slides, can decrease the overall
traction and braking performance of Electric Multiple Units (EMUs). However, they are …

Torsional vibrations phenomena are self-excited vibrations that occur in the wheelset of
railway powertrains due to the counter-phase oscillation of both wheels. Long-lasting events …

Higher running speed and more complex operating circumstances are the development
trends for future high-speed trains. Due to these two key features, robust anti-slip control …

Slip controllers are crucial for railway vehicle operation when a high tractive effort is
required. The slip controllers have been developed for decades, and their developments …

This paper presents a novel robust model predictive anti-slip controller for an electric train,
which can track the speed profile at the same time. The main objective of this paper is to …

Adhesion and creep force models play an important role in the realistic simulation of railway
vehicle systems. These models are mainly based on experiments and they are determined …

Monitoring the conditions of railway vehicle systems plays an important role in the
maintenance of safety and performance of railway vehicles. Rolling radius is one of the …

The locomotive wheelsets configured with high-power AC traction motors are very prone to
slip under poor friction conditions, which usually impair traction/braking efficiency. To avoid …
