Dynamic Braking Control for Accurate Train Braking Distance Estimation under Different Operating Conditions

The application of Model Reference Adaptive Control (MRAC) for train dynamic braking is investigated in order to control dynamic braking forces while remaining within the allowable adhesion and coupler forces.  This control method can accurately determine the train braking distance.  One of the crit...
