Abstract:A novel methodology to realize the automatic train operation is proposed based on a direct fuzzy neural control scheme that is functionally equivalent to the conventional fuzzy controller. Firstly, the structure, train pattern coding method and inference criteria of the proposed fuzzy neural controller were described in details. Then, based on the idea of process partition of complex process, the mathematics description of train traveling process was provided. Finally, a group of simulation results for train traveling process was compared with the human driver's control. The results have demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
