Vehicle-Follower Longitudinal Control for Automated Transit Vehicles

摘要: Abstract In this paper basic considerations in longitudinal control for small automated transit vehicles operating at moderate speeds and short headways are examined. The objective of is the evaluation system designs applicable to using a linear induction motor (LIM) propulsion braking. Evaluation based on dynamic response during nominal emergency operations, sensing communication requirements, simplicity controller design. study restricted vehicle-follower concept. Basic philosophies spacing policies their implications discussed. Mathematical models vehicle LIM developed. Since highly nonlinear device, design procedures can be used develop qualitative but computer simulations necessary establish numerical values gains. velocity controllers various modes operation examined designed variety data transmission requirements.
