In this paper, an improved multi-objective shark smell optimization algorithm using composite angle cosine is proposed for automatic train operation (ATO). Specifically, when solving the problem that the automatic train operation velocity trajectory optimization easily falls into local optimum, the shark smell optimization algorithm with strong searching ability is adopted, and composite angle cosine is incorporated. In addition, the dual-population evolution mechanism is adopted to restrain the aggregation phenomenon in shark population at the end of the iteration to suppress the local convergence. Correspondingly, the composite angle cosine, considering the numerical difference and preference difference, is used as the evaluation index, which ameliorates the shortcoming that the traditional evaluation index is not objective and reasonable. Finally, the Matlab/simulation and hardware-in-the-loop simulation (HILS) results for automatic train operation show that the improved optimization algorithm proposed in this paper has better optimization performance.

“…In recent years, many improved algorithms have been applied in the automatic train operation tracking control field, such as robust adaptive automatic control, model predictive control, online learning, iterative learning control, matter-element model, etc. [9][10][11][12][13]. An online approximation-based robust adaptive automatic train control method is proposed for the automatic train operation (ATO) system [9].…”
This paper develops an improved model predictive controller based on the online obtaining of softness factor and fusion velocity for automatic train operation to enhance the tracking control performance. Specifically, the softness factor of the improved model predictive control algorithm is not a constant, conversely, an improved online adaptive adjusting method for softness factor based on fuzzy satisfaction of system output value and velocity distance trajectory characteristic is adopted, and an improved whale optimization algorithm has been proposed to solve the adjustable parameters; meanwhile, the system output value for automatic train operation is not sampled by a normal speed sensor, on the contrary, an improved online velocity sampled method for the system output value based on a fusion velocity model and an intelligent digital torque sensor is applied. In addition, the two improved strategies proposed take the real-time storage and calculation capacities of the core chip of the controller into account. Therefore, the proposed improved strategies (I) have good performance in tracking precision, (II) are simple and easily conducted, and (III) can ensure the accomplishing of computational tasks in real-time. Finally, to verify the effectiveness of the improved model predictive controller, the Matlab/simulink simulation and hardware-in-the-loop simulation (HILS) are adopted for automatic train operation tracking control, and the tracking control simulation results indicate that the improved model predictive controller has better tracking control effectiveness compared with the existing traditional improved model predictive controller.
“…With the continuous improvement of the performance requirements for urban railway train, the manual driving mode has been unable to meet the operational requirements of train and has gradually shown its own shortcomings. Therefore, ATO system has been developed rapidly due to its rapidity, punctuality, and safety [4][5][6]. The ATO system can adjust the traction or braking forces of the train in real time according to the operating conditions so that it can run safely and efficiently [7].…”
The automatic train operation (ATO) system of urban rail trains includes a two-layer control structure: upper-layer control and lower-layer control. The upper-layer control is to optimize the target speed curve of ATO, and the lower-layer control is the tracking by the urban rail train of the optimal target speed curve generated by the upper-layer control according to the tracking control strategy of ATO. For upper-layer control, the multi-objective model of urban rail train operation is firstly built with energy consumption, comfort, stopping accuracy, and punctuality as optimization indexes, and the entropy weight method is adopted to solve the weight coefficient of each index. Then, genetic algorithm (GA) is used to optimize the model to obtain an optimal target speed curve. In addition, an improved genetic algorithm (IGA) based on directional mutation and gene modification is proposed to improve the convergence speed and optimization effect of the algorithm. The stopping and speed constraints are added into the fitness function in the form of penalty function. For the lower-layer control, the predictive speed controller is designed according to the predictive control principle to track the target speed curve accurately. Since the inflection point area of the target speed curve is difficult to track, the softness factor in the predictive model needs to be adjusted online to improve the control accuracy of the speed. For this paper, we mainly improve the optimization and control algorithms in the upper and lower level controls of ATO. The results show that the speed controller based on predictive control algorithm has better control effect than that based on the PID control algorithm, which can meet the requirements of various performance indexes. Thus, the feasibility of predictive control algorithm in an ATO system is also verified.
