摘要：The control of heavy-haul trains has always been the focus of China’s railway transportation development. One key challenge is the coordination of electric braking and air braking control when the electric-air combined braking is applied on long and steep downgrades. This is normally reliant on manual driving and thus is not cost-effective. To improve the safety and efficiency of train operation in existing heavy-haul railway lines, a multi-label random forest (ML-RF) based approach for heavy-haul train (HHT) operation is proposed. The control characteristics of electric braking and air braking on long and steep downgrades are analyzed first. A prediction model of control strategy is then established with the combination of line conditions and definition of multi-label learning. To evaluate the performance of the model, the 10-fold cross-validation method is adopted. Furthermore, a model parameter optimization algorithm based on evaluation metrics is designed. The feasibility of the proposed approach is demonstrated by the testing results on the actual train running data of one railway line.
