Novel anti-slip/slide control algorithm for Korean high-speed train

This paper describes the anti-slip control system for Korean high speed train with induction motor drive. To use a maximum adhesive effort and to improve tractive performance, adhesion characteristics of a high speed train are analyzed and an anti-slip control system is designed. A novel anti-slip control scheme is proposed for propulsion system with induction motor. In order to verify the control system a down-scaled anti-slip control simulator is set up and running tests with this simulator and real system field test are performed.
