TRAVELING CONTROL SYSTEM FOR PAIR OF RAILWAY MOTORCAR TRAVELING IN PARALLEL ON PARALLEL RAIL

摘要

PURPOSE:To improve the efficiency of the safety confirmation operation by a system wherein parallel traveling is controlled synchronously by transmitting a operated value of the accelerator for the drive motor from the attended vehicle to the unattended vehicle and the speed of the unattended vehicle is controlled by comparing its own speed with that of the attended vehicle. CONSTITUTION:An attended vehicle A transmits a signal proportional to a operated value of an accelerator for controlling a drive motor from its transmitter 1 to a receiver 2 on an unattended vehicle B. The unattended vehicle controls its drive motor with use of the signal transmitted from the attended vehicle so as to effect the synchronous traveling with the attended vehicle. Furthermore, in the unattended vehicle, its speed is compared with that of the attended vehicle. Thus obtained difference signal is used to correct the operating value for the drive motor and enable the positive synchronous traveling with the attended vehicle.
