    摘要: A locomotive propulsion system includes wheelslip control with the following interrelated features: comparing the rotational speeds of the locomotive's separately driven wheels and detecting the highest and lowest; providing a reference speed value indicative of the rotational speed of a wheel that is not slipping; determining a desired maximum difference between the reference speed and a selected one of the detected speeds; deriving a speed error value by summing the reference speed, selected speed, and maximum difference; obtaining a wheelslip correction value which is a function of the speed error value; reducing the magnitude of voltage applied to the locomotive's traction motors in accordance with the correction value.

    摘要: A method and traction control system for an AC locomotive which separately controls the allowable creep level of each individual axle and optimizes traction performance by minimizing torsional vibration per axle. The traction control system includes a torque maximizer and a torsional vibration detector. The torque maximizer evaluates the change in traction system performance levels and actual creep level of individual axles and determines the desired torque maximizer state for maximizing traction performance of each individual axle. The torque maximizer utilizes digital filtering to minimize control cycle time. The torsional vibration detector digitally processes estimated torque feedback of each traction motor in order to detect an unacceptable level of torsional vibration. The outputs of the torque maximizer and the torsional vibration detector are provided to a creep modulator which processes these inputs in order to control the operating creep level of each locomotive axle. As a result, traction performance is improved while minimizing torsional vibration and operating noise levels due to wheel/rail squeal.

    摘要: An exemplary embodiment of the invention is a method for determining a reference speed approximating a ground speed of a vehicle having a plurality of axles. The method includes selecting a minimum vehicle speed based on one of the axles having a minimum speed. An axle having a lowest amount of creep is determined and designated as a speed axle. A derived speed from the speed axle is obtained and compensated by subtracting a creep value from the derived speed to obtain a corrected speed. Operating dynamics for the vehicle are determined and a reference speed is determined based on the minimum vehicle speed or the corrected speed in response to the operating dynamics.
