Field programmable gate array implementation of wheel–rail contact laws
<27>This paper was invited for a special issue on ‘Advances in complex control systems theory and applications’. This research is the first of its kind to deal with the mathematical modelling of complex wheel-rail mechanics for real time simulations. This paper is part of research that is acknowledged to have a major impact, e.g.: "Leaf strewn railway lines cost the UK millions of pounds each year, resulting in frequent delays, but help may soon be at hand. Breakthrough research from experts at Salford University promises to help drivers and operators manage the problem effectively and in real-time" (www.railway-technology.com/features/featureleaves-on-the-line-solving-the-adhesion-riddle/).
