Abstract :
This paper studies a model-based approach for the condition monitoring of an actively controlled railway system, with a focus on actuator failures to detect and isolate failure modes in such a system. It seeks to establish the necessary basis for fault detection to ensure system reliability in the event of an abnormal change in one of the two actuators. Computer simulation is used to demonstrate the effectiveness of the method.
