Acceleration and Deceleration in Electrification and Automation for Road Vehicles and Railway Vehicles

Abstract

In recent years, the use of vehicles using electric motors for braking and driving has been expanding in rail and road transportation. At the same time, many attempts are being made to utilize autonomous and automated driving technology. From a safety perspective, vehicles that have the responsiveness and controllability of modern electric motors must be used with high responsiveness in mind. The purpose is to prevent passengers from falling during road and rail transportation. In this paper, the current status of transportation systems including railways was investigated. Actual data such as acceleration, deceleration, and jerk values from several commercially operated transportation systems were introduced. Furthermore, the concept of acceleration and deceleration was reconsidered.
