This study presents the development of a control system for permanent magnet motors embedded in railway wheels for integrated traction and steering of rail vehicles. The overall control scheme and the control strategies for the provision of traction... Read More about Control of wheel motors for the provision of traction and steering of railway vehicles.

Towards self-powered lateral active suspension for railway vehicles (2014)
Presentation / Conference
Wang, P., Mei, T., & Zhang, J. (2014, July). Towards self-powered lateral active suspension for railway vehicles. Presented at UKACC International Control Conference 2014, Loughborough

This paper investigates the energy consumption of the lateral secondary active suspension for railway vehicles and studies the conditions for self-powered active suspension control. The influence of the performance index weighting factors to both the... Read More about Towards self-powered lateral active suspension for railway vehicles.

Detection and isolation for actuator failure for actively controlled railway wheelsets (2014)
Presentation / Conference
Mirzapour, M., & Mei, T. (2014, July). Detection and isolation for actuator failure for actively controlled railway wheelsets. Presented at UKACC International Control Conference 2014, Loughborough

This paper studies a model-based approach for the condition monitoring of an actively controlled railway system, with a focus on actuator failures to detect and isolate failure modes in such a system. It seeks to establish the necessary basis for fau... Read More about Detection and isolation for actuator failure for actively controlled railway wheelsets.

Railway vehicle optimisation to using the concept of design for control (2014)
Presentation / Conference
Ward, C., Mei, T., Hubbard, P. D., & Mirzapour, M. (2014, April). Railway vehicle optimisation to using the concept of design for control. Presented at The Second International Conference on Railway Technology: Research, Development and Maintenance ,, Ajaccio

Design for control is an axiom extensively used in the aerospace and automotive industries that has proven highly beneficial both in terms of performance benefits but also in reducing unit costs and reducing maintenance burdens. To date, in the railw... Read More about Railway vehicle optimisation to using the concept of design for control.

Fault detection and isolation for an active wheelset control system (2014)
Journal Article
Mirzapour, M., Mei, T., & Xuesong, J. (2014). Fault detection and isolation for an active wheelset control system. Vehicle System Dynamics, 52(Sup_1), 157-171. https://doi.org/10.1080/00423114.2014.887210

Active control for railway wheelsets in the primary suspension has been shown to offer a number of performance gains, and especially it can be used to stabilise the wheelsets without compromising the vehicle's performance on curves. However, the use... Read More about Fault detection and isolation for an active wheelset control system.
