Control of Traction Rail Vehicle with Freewheels
Abstract
This paper is focused on the low-floor tramswith free-wheels driven by PMSM motors, especially on
their traction control system. The first part describes
modern low-floor trams, particularly the type 15T produced
by Škoda Transportation. The second part of the paper
presents the simulations of characteristics operating such
tram in the rail and the results of these simulations. The
last part of the paper describes the mechanical construction
and electrical equipment of a light experimental rail car,
that will be used as an experimental base for a improvement
of the control system for the tram 15T.
