Cooperative maximum adhesion tracking control for multi-motor electric locomotives by Leiting Zhao, Yongxiang Wang, Kan Liu, Liran Li, Jingyuan Zhan, Qingliang Liu

“…Purpose – This study aims to propose a cooperative adhesion control method for trains with multiple motors electric locomotives. The method is intended to optimize the output torque of each motor, maximize the utilization of train adhesion within the total torque command, reduce the train skidding/sliding phenomenon and achieve optimal adhesion utilization for each axle, thus realizing the optimal allocation of the multi-motor electric locomotives. …”

Multimotors Coordination Control Method for Consistent Total Traction Torque of Electric Locomotives by Jianhua Liu, Rui Nie, Zheshu Li

“…Multimotors traction is a common driving mode for electric locomotives. The complexity and variability of the operating environment often cause difficulties for one or some traction motors to output the distributed traction torque, which requires the redistribution of the torque output of multimotors to maintain the total traction torque of all motors at a given constant. …”

Machine classification of code signals in electric train warning systems by I. V. Prisukhina, D. V. Borisenko

“…Electric signals transmitted through a track circuit often get corrupted by the noise produced by electric locomotives and other sources. This, in most cases, causes errors in automatic train warning systems and temporarily disrupts the operation of a railway. …”
