| description | The wheelset is an important part that affects the dynamics of railway vehicles. The main purpose of the wheelset is to solve the problem of stability, curve performance, comfort, and wear. A conventional railway vehicle adopts rigid-axle wheelset (RW) due to the self-centering mechanism. On the other hand, independently rotating wheels (IRWs) have not been widely applied in the railway industry, since they do not generate any self-centering mechanism. It creates excessive wear, and derailment may occur. However, the IRWs have excellent curving performance compared with the RWs, and it enables realizing a low-floor structure that is convenient for passengers to get on and off. The recent active control technology has made it possible to generate a centering force in the IRWs. There are still many obstacles for the practical use of this technology, and it is necessary to verify the control strategies through various test methods. In this paper, an analytical model is derived, and an active control strategy is studied. To verify the validity of the active control strategy, a novel hardware-in-the-loop simulation (HILS) configuration using a real-time model and a motor-generator set are proposed. |
