Journal Article
Mei, T., Qu, K., & Li, H. (2014). Control of wheel motors for the provision of traction and steering of railway vehicles. IET Power Electronics, 7(9), 2279-2287. https://doi.org/10.1049/iet-pel.2013.0882

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.

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.
