A high speed railway control system based on the fuzzy control method

•The high speed railway fuzzy control system is proposed.•The output variables can directly operate the train.•The results proved the effectiveness and accuracy of the control system.•Fuzzy rules can reflect the expert knowledge and experiences.•The input and output variables are inferred accurate.

This paper proposed a high-speed railway control system based on the fuzzy control method. The fuzzy control system of the high-speed railway is designed in the Matlab software according to the expert experience and knowledge. At first the input and output variables have been fuzzified in the fuzzification process. Then the membership function is designed and the control rules are discussed in detail bring into correspondence with expert knowledge. The parameters discussion about the maximum speed and traction effort are studied in detail. Finally, the defuzzify process can output the results directly to control the high speed railway train. The results indicated that the fuzzy control system is effective and accurate in the high speed railway control process.
