Abstract
- Designing a train control system over wireless train-wayside communications is a challenging task due to the packet delay and loss caused by unreliable wireless communications. In this paper, we study the performance optimization issues in communication-based train control (CBTC) systems with both packet delay and loss introduced by random transmission errors and frequent handoffs in train-wayside communications. A networked control system (NCS) model is formulated for multitrain CBTC systems with packet delay and loss. Then, we propose a novel train control scheme to enhance the quality of service (QoS) of CBTC systems. In the proposed scheme, medium-access control layer retry limit adaption is used to minimize the energy consumption, and guidance trajectory update is used to mitigate the trip time tracking errors. Extensive simulation results show that the QoS of CBTC systems can be substantially improved in the proposed scheme. The energy consumption and trip time error can be reduced in both static and time-varying wireless environments. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
