Fault-Tolerant Control of Sliding Mode of Semi-Active Suspension of High-Speed Train Based on Observer
High-speed trains operate in a high-intensity,strong interference,and long-distance environment for a long time,and many situations such as actuator failure in the suspension system can affect the safety of the train during operation.In order to solve this problem,a sliding mode fault-tolerant control method based on sliding mode observer is proposed.Firstly,a lateral dynamics model of a high-speed train with actuator faults is constructed,and a sliding mode observer is designed to estimate the unknown fault values of actuators in real time.Then,the fault estimation value is input into the sliding mode controller,and the fault-tolerant controller of sliding mode variable structure is designed,and the equivalent output damping force required to stabilize the attitude of the train is calculated to achieve the purpose of fault-tolerant control of the semi-active suspension system including actuator fault,and the stability of the sliding mode fault-tolerant controller is analyzed in com-bination with the Lyapunov stability theory.Finally,experiment verifies that the designed sliding mode observer can track the actual value of each variable observation value at about 0.3 s and the tracking accuracy reaches about 90%,and it is also verifies that the designed sliding mode controller has better robustness than the tradi-tional PID controller in the case of suspension actuator failure.
