Design, Simulation and Analysis of a Large Scale Hydraulic Stabilization Control System

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to discuss the use of modeling and simulation in the design and analysis of a hydraulic rail car stabilization control system. The simulated models have been verified by comparing the simulation results with engineering test data. The simulation was used as a tool to understand the causes of different anomalies observed during system hardware testing, defining solutions to test anomalies, and improving overall system performance.
