Abstract
The adaptive cruise formation control problem for multiple high-speed trains (MHSTs) with input, speed and minimum tracking distance constraints under virtual coupling (VC) is proposed in this paper. First, the dynamic equation of MHSTs is created based on the law of kinematics. The communication topology is modeled by graph theory. Next, the speed limit, minimum tracking distance with adjacent trains are dealt with by using the ideas of the potential function. The resistance and unknown disturbances are dealt with by using adaptive control. Then, a cruise control protocol for MHSTs to track the expected trajectory is designed. The Lyapunov theory is used to prove the system stability. Finally, numerical experiments are conducted, which illustrates that the control protocol is effective.
