Railway Virtual Coupling: A Survey of Emerging Control Techniques
From MaRDI portal
Abstract: This paper provides a systematic review of emerging control techniques used for railway Virtual Coupling (VC) studies. Train motion models are first reviewed, including model formulations and the force elements involved. Control objectives and typical design constraints are then elaborated. Next, the existing VC control techniques are surveyed and classified into five groups: consensus-based control, model prediction control, sliding mode control, machine learning-based control, and constraints-following control. Their advantages and disadvantages for VC applications are also discussed in detail. Furthermore, several future studies for achieving better controller development and implementation, respectively, are presented. The purposes of this survey are to help researchers to achieve a better systematic understanding regarding VC control, to spark more research into VC and to further speed-up the realization of this emerging technology in railway and other relevant fields such as road vehicles.
