Abstract

The high-speed train bogie is a typical underactuated mechanical system. It has been difficult to design controls to increase the stability against hunting motion with limited sensor measurements and actuation hardware. This paper develops a control design for the stability improvement of the bogie by making use of the balanced truncation reduced order model of the bogie. When the train travels at speed higher than the critical speed, the bogie has unstable modes. The balanced truncation model reduction (BTMR) is usually applied to stable systems. In this paper, we first apply the real Schur decomposition to separate the stable and unstable modes of the bogie. The BTMR is then carried out for the stable subsystem. An augmented X 0 -balanced truncation algorithm is considered to deal with the dependence of the BTMR on initial conditions. The reduced order subsystem is then combined with the unstable subsystem. A linear quadratic regulator control together with a Luenberger observer for the state estimation is designed for the bogie with non-zero initial conditions. Simulation results show that the control designed with the balanced truncation reduced order model performs very well in terms of the stability improvement by significantly increasing the critical train speed.
