Effect of Wheel-Slip Prevention Control Using Nonlinear Robust Control Theory

This paper presents results of experiments demonstrating robust wheel slip prevention control for rail vehicles using nonlinear robust control theory. The authors compare brake performance between wheel-slip prevention control based on sliding mode control theory and conventional controllers using a full-sized brake test stand. The proposed wheel-slip control is shown to be highly stable and robust, and when compared with conventional control methods for rail vehicles, the controller displays high brake performance.
