Cooperative Control of High-speed Trains with Transmission Delay via Active Compensation Approach

The cooperative control problem for high speed trains under transmission delay is discussed in this paper. The control law is constructed guaranteeing that all the trains can operate at the desired distance and speed profile cooperatively. An active compensation approach is used to handle the transmission delays when each train communicates with its neighbors and gets information. In addition, adaptive laws are designed to deal with parametric and environmental uncertainties. Simulation results are displayed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
