An urban railway train is a braking power-distributed system consisting of multiple carriages,
which is becoming a powerful transportation tool to alleviate traffic congestion within cities …

Active braking control systems in high-speed trains are vital to ensure safety and are
intended to reduce brake distances and prevent the wheels from locking. The slip ratio …

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 …

In this article, the observer-based robust preview tracking control problem is revisited for
discrete-time Lipschitz nonlinear systems. The proposed observer-based preview control …

This paper discusses the robust preview control problem for uncertain discrete-time systems,
where future reference and disturbance signals over a finite horizon can be previewed. First …

Power semiconductor converters of railway traction vehicles are controlled by sophisticated
regulators. They must respond immediately and with high dynamics to changes in adhesion …

Aiming at the requirements of distributed braking and advanced automatic driving, a brake-
by-wire unit based on a direct drive pump–valve cooperative is proposed. To realize the …

Active braking control systems are vital for the safety of high-speed trains by leading the train
operation at its maximum adhesion state. The train adhesion is a nonlinear function of the …

In this paper, the leader-following consensus control problem of discrete-time nonlinear
multi-agent systems with unknown control directions is discussed. The preview future …

The doctoral thesis deals with a novel slip controller for electric locomotives design that is
based on adhesion-slip characteristic slope detection. The purpose of the slip controller is to …
