CONSTRUCTION of a CONTROL SYSTEM to EVALUATE SPEED TRACKING PERFORMANCE for PERSONAL RAPID TRANSIT SYSTEM

초록

This study is concerned with the control system design using Labview Simulation Interface Toolkit and Matlab/Simulink combined system for an application to the personal rapid transit system which has very short headway, requiring accurate speed control to avoid the impact between the vehicles. A simple equation of motion for a vehicle which is activated on the linear motor is introduced. A speed profile that should be tracked by a rear vehicle is produced based on the state information of the two vehicles (the preceding vehicle and the rear vehicle). The speed profile tracking control system is designed by Matlab/Simulink. The simulation results show that the proposed control system is effective to evaluate the speed tracking performance.
