Conventional railway operations employ specialized software and hardware to ensure safe and secure train operations. Track occupation and signaling are governed by central control offices, while trains (and their drivers) receive…
Trains are a corner stone of public transport and play an important role in daily life. A challenging task in train operation is to avoid skidding and sliding during fast changes of traction conditions, which can, for example, occur due to…
In modern rail transportation, energy-efficient train control (EETC) is concerned with the optimal train speed trajectory or control strategies to achieve the minimum energy cost under various operation and traction constraints. This paper…
The objective of this paper is to present a novel intelligent train control system for virtual coupling in railroads based on a Learning Model Predictive Control (LMPC). Virtual coupling is an emerging railroad technology that reduces the…
Improving traffic management in case of perturbation is one of the main challenges in today's railway research. The great majority of the existing literature proposes approaches to make centralized decisions to minimize delay propagation.…
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…
Remote driving aims to improve transport systems by promoting efficiency, sustainability, and accessibility. In the railway sector, remote driving makes it possible to increase flexibility, as the driver no longer has to be in the cab.…
The problem of optimization of the rolling dynamics model is considered. That providing safe movement at high frequency when interacting with the railway. Moreover, allowing to evaluate the dynamic parameters when designing new and…
Modern railway traction systems are often equipped with anti-slip control strategies to comply with performance and safety requirements. A certain amount of slip is needed to increase the torque transferred by the traction motors onto the…
Trajectory planning and control have historically been separated into two modules in automated driving stacks. Trajectory planning focuses on higher-level tasks like avoiding obstacles and staying on the road surface, whereas the controller…
Railway networks have become increasingly important in recent times, especially in moving freight and public transportation from road traffic and planes to more environmentally friendly trains. Since expanding the global railway network is…
Railway operations require control systems to ensure safety and efficiency, and to coordinate infrastructure elements such as switches, signals and train protection. To compete with the traditional approaches to these systems, a…
Model Predictive Control (MPC) has proven to be a powerful tool for the control of systems with constraints. Nonetheless, in many applications, a major challenge arises, that is finding the optimal solution within a single sampling instant…
Urban rail transit often operates with high service frequencies to serve heavy passenger demand during rush hours. Such operations can be delayed by two types of congestion: train congestion and passenger congestion, both of which interact…
Train scheduling is one of the significant issues in the railway industry in recent years since it has an important role in efficacy of railway infrastructure. In this paper, the timetabling problem of a multiple tracked railway network is…
The decarbonisation of heavy-duty railway networks requires maximising the capacity of existing electrical infrastructure. Integrating heavy freight alongside fast passenger services exposes the hard physical limits of conventional…
In order to manage electricity transmission and distribution it is now common practice for system operators to offer financial incentives that encourage large consumers to reduce energy usage during designated peak demand periods. For train…
Rail is a cost-effective and relatively low-emission mode for transporting intermodal containers over long distances. This paper addresses tactical planning of intermodal railroad operations by introducing a new problem that simultaneously…
This paper proposes a state reduction method for learning-based model predictive control (MPC) for train rescheduling in urban rail transit systems. The state reduction integrates into a control framework where the discrete decision…
The effects of model parameter uncertainty on traffic flow control problems have recently drawn research attention. While the uncertainty in fundamental diagram related parameters has been investigated in the past, few articles have focused…
