Summary
In this study, a multi-body dynamic model of a high-speed railway vehicle including
an anti-slip control system is built to study the braking performance of the high-speed
vehicle under low wheel/rail adhesion conditions. A high-speed vehicle model is
established using the structures and parameters of a high-speed vehicle in service.
The wheel/rail adhesion is determined using an adhesion model that can well describe
the wheel/rail adhesion near the adhesion limit. A logic gate anti-slip control is used
in the braking control model for its robustness. Co-simulation of a vehicle dynamic
model and anti-slip control model is conducted to study the braking performance of
the high-speed vehicle. Simulation results show that the static coefficient of friction
(COF) has a large effect on the braking performance of a high-speed vehicle when the
static COF is below 0.1. When the COF is larger than 0.1, an increasing adhesion
level does not improve the braking performance. Both factors KA and KS from Polach
adhesion model, which can influent the characteristic of adhesion curve, have little
effect on the braking performance.
