Abstract

The electric multiple units (EMUs) have become a very convenient and powerful means of transportation in our daily life. Safe and punctual trajectory tracking control is the key to improve the performance of the EMUs system, but it is difficult to realize due to the influence of environmental uncertainty, coupling and nonlinearity. In this paper, a model-free adaptive sliding mode control (MFASMC) method is proposed for the EMUs. This method can solve the dependence of the model-based control method on the train model and eliminate the influence of external disturbances on the robust performance of the system. In this method, the running process of the EMUs is equivalent to a full format dynamic linearization (FFDL) data model, and a model-free adaptive controller (MFAC) is designed based on the data model. Then, to reduce the influence of measurement disturbance and improve the robustness of the system, a discrete sliding mode control (SMC) algorithm is introduced. Furthermore, to prevent the control input from being too large, the parameter estimation error is introduced as an additional correction term of the algorithm. In the end, the simulation experiment is carried out with CRH380A EMUs as the object. Compared with the traditional MFAC and the traditional SMC, the speed tracking effect of each power unit of the MFASMC algorithm is more effective, the change of control force is stable, the acceleration meets the requirements of driving, and has a strong inhibitory effect on external disturbances.
