In view of the higher train speeds and smaller motor vehicle ratio in recent years, it it needed to utilize adhesion force more effectively. Therefore, we developed a new control method called "Anti-slip Readhesion Control with Presumed Adhesion Force" and applied it to commuter transport electric cars to verify various characteristics such as the effect to improve control, appropriate control parameters, difference between the systems with and without presuming adhesion force, and so on. In running tests, we confirmed that we can utilize adhesion force more effectively by applying the newly developed control method to commuter transport electric cars.
