Over the last twenty to thirty years, railway vehicle dynamics has changed from being an
essentially mechanical engineering discipline to one that is increasingly starting to include …

Understanding the dynamics of railway vehicles, and indeed of the entire vehicle-track
system, is critical to ensuring safe and economical operation of modern railways. As the …

Challenging optimisation problems, which elude acceptable solution via conventional
methods, arise regularly in control systems engineering. Evolutionary algorithms (EAs) …

Genetic algorithms (GAs) are the most widely known evolutionary search algorithms. While
they are regularly applied to control engineering problems, currently they are not a standard …

This study investigates the dry and near-dry electrical discharge machining (EDM) milling to
achieve a high material removal rate (MRR) and fine surface finish for roughing and …

This paper presents the recent development on active steering for railway vehicles, and
carries out a technical appraisal of different actuation schemes and control approaches. It …

A multidisciplinary optimization method is applied to the design of mechatronic vehicles with
active suspensions. The method is implemented in a GA-A'GEM-MATLAB simulation …

This paper presents the development of a multiple model estimation approach for the
identification of the adhesion limit to overcome the problem of the wheel slip/slide at the rail …

This article proposes an approach for performance tuning of model predictive control (MPC)
using goal-attainment optimisation of the cost function weighting matrices. The approach is …
