Extended sliding-mode controller for high speed train

This study presents a analysis of the cruise control for the high speed train (HST). For a train system, the system are designed to being safe and reliable with high efficiency and fault tolerance; however, users require faster, more stable and more comfort transportation. To make sure the safety at such high speed, automatic train control (ATC) is needed and used for the modern HST to guarantee the safety and monitor the cruise status. In this paper, a conventional sliding-mode control and the extended sliding mode control are studied and applied to the cruise control of the HST.
