Abstract EN
In Chinese mainline railway, freight trains need to stop within passenger stations at times because of the delayed passenger trains.
Without any decision-support system, it is very difficult for drivers to stop trains within stations with consistency in one braking action.
The reasons are that braking performance of train changes with the conditions of braking equipment and the drivers’ subjective evaluations of track profiles and braking distance are vague and imprecise.
This paper presents a fuzzy neural network (FNN), which is based on the historical datasets of train stops, to model the latest condition of train braking equipment and to attain the braking distance under a predefined braking rate, track profiles, and initial braking speed.
The braking distance is used to find the initial braking position to advise the drivers on commencing braking action.
Case studies confirm that it is feasible to stop trains within stations in one braking action by applying the proposed approach.
Furthermore, the runtime and energy consumption of train movement are both reduced in comparison to the practical two-step action train stopping (TATS); that is, drivers stop trains before entering stations and remotor at a low speed before slowly stopping within stations.
