Implementation of proportional-integral-plus control to a high redundancy actuator for a track switch system
IFAC PAPERSONLINE(2023)
Abstract
The railway network is equipped with track switches that enable trains to move from one track to another. Existing track switch actuation is performed in open loop. Closed-loop control and redundant actuation can be applied to provide an opportunity to enhance the reliability of the railway track switch system. This paper looks at the control design development applied to a laboratory scale demonstrator of a redundant actuation concept. Open-loop control is first applied to this High Redundancy Actuation (HRA) track switch lab prototyping. According to the open-loop experimental input and output, a simplified linear model of the system is identified and estimated. A model-based Proportional-Integral-Plus (PIP) controller is then developed and tested, including nominal control and fault tolerant control. The results show that the proposed control method can meet the actuation requirements of the track switch system with high redundancy actuation. Another innovation of this paper is direct model- based control design, and this small HRA prototyping provides valuable insight into the future full-scale system.
