Mathematical Simulation in Traction Rolling Stock Systems Building

Abstract

Modern design methods for both rolling stock and machinery aim to automate processes as much as possible. Cab engine driver should run the train, not be involved in its maintenance, and maintenance crew is required to know in advance all the failures on a particular cab. But in addition to standard train operation, there are a number of issues that affect the safety and reliability of operational equipment. These issues include heating of the rolling stock in low temperatures and related consumption of fuel and energy resources. The existing wide-patent database has a huge number of papers, but only a few are widely used on a rolling stock. Modern realities shape the principles and requirements of resource management, which over the years have made rigid and distinctive framework for designers and engineers, in particular — the workability of the system under the unknown parameters in advance. These requirements force to use principles based on adaptive systems.
