Undulatory Swimming Locomotion Driven by CPG with Multimodal Local Sensory Feedback

Auke Ijspeert, Kamilo Andres Melo Becerra, Laura Isabel Paez Coy, Jonathan Patrick Arreguit O'Neill, Kyoichi Akiyama

Many species such as eels, lampreys and leeches generate undulatory swimming locomotion adaptively. It is said that this coordinated locomotive patterns are produced by central pattern generators (CPGs) which generate rhythmic activities without any rhythm ...

Introducing a preliminary Consists Selection in the Locomotive Assignment Problem

Michel Bierlaire, Francesco Piu, Prem Kumar

The Locomotive Assignment Problem (LAP) is a class of planning and scheduling problems solved by assigning a fleet of locomotives to a network of trains. In the planning versions of the LAP, the type of consist (a group of linked locomotives) assigned to e ...

Optimization-Based Voltage Support in Traction Networks Using Active Line-Side Converters

Alfred Rufer, Behrooz Bahrani

Low system voltage in traction networks, mainly caused by active power absorption of locomotives, adversely affects the performance of the locomotives and also the power transmission capability of the catenary line. This paper introduces a voltage support ...

Catenary Voltage Support: Adopting Modern Locomotives With Active Line-Side Converters

Alfred Rufer, Behrooz Bahrani, Martin Aeberhard

This paper proposes a voltage support scheme for traction networks, which compensates for the voltage drop along the catenary line to which locomotives are connected. The proposed method is based on the injection of capacitive reactive power through the cu ...
