Compensator skyhook damping control for railway vehicles

The work in this thesis proposed a control method for active technology in trains using skyhook damping control algorithm. The main advantage of the method is the good improvement of passenger ride comfort on straight track such that it can be computed rapidly using a highly effective controller whi...
