摘要

This paper focuses on the low-cost configuration of the lateral active suspension system for the highspeed train. First, the full-scale railway vehicle dynamics with 17-degree-of-freedom are introduced, where the actuator saturation, suspension deflection, and random and periodic track irregularities are considered. Then, based on the internal model principle, some classic active vibration control methods, e.g., the PID, positive position feedback, repetitive, and resonant controls, are unified as an internal model (IM)-based form and an IM-based resonant control is further presented. After that, to suppress various vibrations, three principles are presented to set the damping ratio and natural frequency of the IM-based resonant controller according to the properties of the controlled plant and/or the external disturbances. In consequence, an active suspension with the IM-based resonant controller is designed to improve the ride quality of the high-speed train, where the H-infinity method is used to calculate the unique gain. Moreover, the configuration of the active suspension is low cost and consists of two independent control systems, where one control system only has a pair of actuators and an accelerometer. Finally, the random and periodic track irregularities are employed to show the efficiency of the proposed resonant-control-based active suspension by comparing with the linear quadratic Gaussian ( LQG) and H-infinity controllers.
