Remote Control and Monitoring System for the Scaled Active Steering Railway Vehicle

초록

This paper describes the remote control and monitoring system of the scaled railway test-bed for development of the active steering control using the 2.4G wireless LAN system and the wireless camera sets. Generally active steering system of railway vehicles has proven its ability to bridge the gap between stability and curve friendliness. The scaled test-bed consists of two steering actuators, a steering controller, various sensor systems, and control station to control the active steering controller and monitor the various sensor signals. To communicate control station to the scaled vehicle, we used the 2.4G wireless LAN system with Netmeeting software. Running test results of 1/5 scaled active steering vehicle on the curved track show that the proposed remote control and monitoring system (control station) has good performance.
