Simulation of Wheel Slide Protection System for Railway Vehicles

Abstract

Computer simulation was used to study WSP (Wheel Slide Protection) system in this paper. The model of WSP system was built. Simulation model can avoid real vehicle tests or laboratory bench which will cost a lot of time and expenses. The WSP system model was composed of pneumatic model, mechanical model and control model. Three models were connected with each other and formed a closed loop system. The result shows that the simulation model has most characteristics of WSP system. The model can be used in the study of WSP system instead of the real system.
