The restricted intermittent control for high-speed train movement via the full state dependent event-triggered method

In this paper, the full state dependent event-triggered aperiodic intermittent control (FE-AIC) strategy based on input constraints is introduced to minimize energy consumption and enhance speed tracking accuracy in the high-speed train (HST) operation. Firstly, a dynamic model based on multi-mass-point (MMP) for HST has been established, transforming the cruise control problem into an error asymptotic convergence problem. Secondly, restricted FE-AIC (RFE-AIC) controller is designed separately in the presence and absence of external disturbances to realize tracking objects. The proposed control scheme is not only based on control input constraints, but also intermittent control with full state event dependence. The RFE-AIC scheme and the conditions for determining parameters are given, which ensures the stability of the ideal tracking speed and coupler deviation at the equilibrium point. Eventually, the availability of the proposed method in cruise control is confirmed through numerical simulations. It is proved that the RFE-AIC has better performance compared with the self-triggered and guaranteed optimal cruise control methods.
