Railway traction vehicles need to transfer high tractive effort from wheels to rails. The task is complicated because the maximum transferable force continuously changes during the train run, and the change can lead to the high wheels slip velocity or slippage. The effects are undesirable and must be prevented if it is possible or at least limited by slip controllers. There have been several slip controllers developed based on different principles with different degree of complexity and efficiency. The paper summarises principles of the slip control methods and brings their overview with the simulation of their behaviour.References
