This paper describes a theoretical study of an active anti-roll bar tilt control system for a railway vehicle. It presents the rationale behind body tilting, the advantages and disadvantages associated with body tilting and the key tilt control system requirements. The paper also describes the control modelling process and presents some simulation results from control system studies. A number of competing control systems have been designed and analysed, including both classical and optimal control strategies. The performance of the control systems for a variety of curves is considered, as well as their response to track irregularities. The results show that all the strategies provide good tilting performance, the optimal control approach being marginally better.

The paper analyzes the methods of starting an asynchronous motor with a phase rotor. The control system used on the object under consideration, the mechanism of cargo movement, is obsolete. Current problems in modern production are measures aimed at energy saving at all stages of production, as well as ensuring the necessary dynamic indicators of control systems. In this paper, several control systems for the mechanism of cargo movement are considered and investigated. The optimal control system for several indicators is proposed. The Matlab Simulink package simulates various start-up methods, namely: direct start-up from the network, rheostatic start-up of an asynchronous motor with a phase rotor, pulse start-up of an asynchronous motor with a phase rotor, asynchronous-valve stage and asynchronous-valve stage with pulse regulation. According to the obtained graphs, a comparison is made and conclusions are drawn about the advantages and disadvantages of each of the start-up methods, as well as graphs of the consumption of active and reactive energy of each of the methods and the most energy-efficient control method is identified.

The author discusses some of the problems of failure-survival automatic flight control systems and suggests some basic ground rules as design criteria. The advantages and disadvantages of some of the main types of system are discussed: duplex, triplex, triple component, duplicate-monitored and quadruplex systems being covered. In particular, a quadruplex actuator is described which has been designed and developed mainly for automatic flight control system applications where a very high degrees of failure-survival capability is required. A detailed failure analysis of the various systems is carried out and the importance of the electrical and hydraulic supply system configurations and failure rates is brought out.
