Constrained Spatial Adaptive Iterative Learning Control for Trajectory Tracking of High Speed Train

Abstract

This paper proposes a constrain spatial adaptive iterative learning controller (CSAILC) for the displacement-speed trajectory tracking of automatic train control system with unknown parametric/nonparametric uncertainties and speed constraints. First, the nonlinear dynamic model of train operation is transformed from temporal domain into spatial domain utilizing a spatial state differentiator. Besides, the displacement-related parametric/nonparametric uncertainties are updated in the iteration axis. Furthermore, a barrier function is involved to satisfy the speed constraint, and the corresponding convergence analysis of the proposed CSAILC for automatic train control (ATC) is derived based on the spatial composite energy function. In addition, numerical simulations of train tracking control are carried out, and simulation results indicate that the proposed CSAILC achieves good effectiveness in a high-speed train (HST) control system.
