Nowadays, it is very often that some portion of the Indian traction system is still suffering from a single line railway transportation. This in turn creates a havoc disturbance in maintaining the proper sequence of traction control system. Also, passengers are taking risk to catch the train which is already in motion but no such action has been taken to eliminate these consequences. It has been found that more or less various works have been done on Automation in Railway Crossing Gate using Microcontroller and IR Sensor. Thus, it is often decided to develop an idea for the Indian traction system to ensure better controlling action by introducing Limit Switches as Tactile Sensors and by introducing HMI using PLC. The purpose here to take control over various controlling domains, including Railway crossing gate are as follows: Track signal, crossing level signal, alarm notification, and platform edge fence. The proper sequencing needs to be operated via a 128 I/O module with 2 KB memory size small PLC kit.

This paper presents the conceptual design of the traction control system of a high performance electric vehicle with four driven wheels, intended to be used in quarter mile competitions. Different models of the longitudinal and vertical vehicle’s dynamics are presented, in order to consider the coupling dynamics of front and rear wheels. Two slip control strategies are proposed so as to maximize the traction forces of the wheels. The first one consists of a traditional control scheme applied to each wheel of the vehicle. Since the interaction between the tire and the road is often poorly known, the second controller proposed consists of a perturbation based extremum seeking control (PBESC), in order to maximize the traction force without knowledge of the road and the tire characteristics. Finally an auto tuning process based on low discrepancy sequences for both control systems is presented.

Tire blow-outs or puncture during the operation of the vehicle is one of the major root causes of road accidents. The drivers lose his/her control of the steering wheel when the tire get punctured or busted leading towards loss of stability of the vehicle causing adverse effects to the vehicle and the passenger. Due to the rapid change in the pressure range within the tyres, the rim of the wheels come in contact with the road surface causing loss of traction and stability of the vehicle leading to accidents. Despite, the rapid advancements witnessed in the field of automobile industry stating from autonomous vehicles to electronic stability unit, a proper solution addressing the issue of accidents caused due to tire blow-outs remains unanswered. In this proposed study, automatic activation of an additional secondary wheel/roller assembly mounted to the chassis using a custom made Zigbee based smart traction system in order to address the traction and stability issues based on the real-time pressure of the tyre is presented. The real-time pressure of the wheels is monitored by the control system which then decides on scheduling the activation of the secondary wheel/roller assembly using a battery operated pneumatic system which will prevent the vehicle from losing its stability. The proposed traction control system consisting of the secondary roller assembly could also be considered as a lifesaving add-on to the passenger vehicle and a replacement for the wheel replacement jack emphasising the market demand of the proposed solution which is a robust and a cost-effective solution.
