Abstract
A method is proposed to enhance the overall braking performance of a railroad vehicle (train) by properly exchanging information among the single control units. Taking advantage of data transmitted from the coaches at the front of the train to the rear carriages, a novel distributed braking control algorithm is proposed that, based on preview control techniques, allows one to reduce the stopping distance. The algorithm is demonstrated and compared to other standard approaches through simulations.
