The estimation of adhesion conditions between wheels and rails during railway operations
is an important task as it helps to characterise the braking and traction control system. Since …

Anti-slip control systems are essential for railway vehicle systems with traction. In order to
propose an effective anti-slip control system, adhesion information between wheel and rail …

The traction performance of heavy‐haul locomotive is subject to the wheel/rail adhesion
states. However, it is difficult to obtain these states due to complex adhesion mechanism and …

Adhesion and creep force models play an important role in the realistic simulation of railway
vehicle systems. These models are mainly based on experiments and they are determined …

The majority of control methodologies for railway vehicles depend on adhesion data to attain
optimal traction. Therefore, researchers have been actively investigating practical and …

The wheel–rail adhesion is one of the key factors limiting the traction performance of railway
vehicles. To meet the adhesion optimization needs and rapidly obtain wheel–rail creep …

Loading conditions of railway vehicles both affect the vehicle and substructure directly.
There are approaches to determine the load of a railway vehicle, the first one is to statically …

When the permanent magnet high-speed EMU (Electrical Multiple Unit) train runs at
extremely high speeds, it is necessary to solve the problem of optimal exertion of wheel-rail …

The variability of rail surfaces can result in wheel–rail slippage, which reduces the accuracy
of subway braking systems, or even endangers the operation safety. It is necessary to …

Information about the adhesion condition in wheel-rail contact during railway operations is
required to characterise the braking and traction which are key factors in railway …
