Abstract

Virtual coupling technologies have been widely studied in recent years, due to their merits of flexibility and efficiency. However, to operate a virtually coupled train set (VCTS) as a single train, the synchronous operation is still a critical problem to be addressed, especially in arriving. To this end, we propose a distributed coordinated optimal control (DCOC) approach integrated with distributed optimization and model predictive control. First, we formulate a globally coordinated optimal control problem for VCTS, where the states of units in VCTS are coupled in the cost and constraints. Then, we design a distributed algorithm to solve the global problem, where local problems are decoupled into ones with fewer dimensions. Next, we employ distributed model predictive control to guarantee the satisfaction of safety constraints before the convergence of the distributed algorithm. Finally, experimental results demonstrate that our approach can achieve stable and synchronous operation for VCTS and save by 90% computation time than existing centralized approaches.
