Abstract

This paper studies the adaptive fault-tolerant tracking control problem for the high-speed trains with intercar flexible link and traction actuator failures. This study is focused on a benchmark model which, as a main dynamic unit of the

CRH (China Railway High-speed) train, is a two-car dynamic system with a flexible link between two cars, for which the input acts on the second car and the output is the speed of the first car. This model is under parameter uncertainties and subject to uncertain actuator failures. For such an underactuated system, to ensure the first car tracking a desired speed trajectory, a coordinate transformation method is employed to decompose the system model into a control dynamics subsystem and a zero dynamics subsystem. Stability analysis is conducted to show that such a zero dynamic system is Lyapunov stable and is partially input-to-state stable. An adaptive fault-tolerant control scheme is developed which is able to ensure the closedloop system signal boundedness and desired speed tracking, in the presence of the unknown system parameters and actuator failures. Simulation results from a realistic train dynamic model are presented to verify the desired adaptive control system performance.
