How to get a smoother ride on BART
How to get a smoother ride on BART
The transit system connects San Francisco to East Bay communities
Numerous optimization problems arise in the area of advanced automatic train control
Modern radio-based train control systems provide a new domain for applying optimization techniques
Description of the Control Simulator
A train experiences interference during acceleration
Enhanced train control objectives for a more reliable system
Our enhanced control objective is to smooth interference during acceleration
We apply interior-point algorithms to determine an acceleration trajectory
We use O3D to solve the quadratic program in the enhanced controller
