This paper aims to compare a forward and backward simulation of the power propulsion system of an automatic subway. In the forward approach the control of the system is required. In the backward approach, no control is required but a derivative relationship has to be computed. Both simulations are compared in terms of accuracy of dynamical performances, maximal values of different variables and energy consumption and specifically when limitations occur.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
