Abstract:This paper summarizes existing ATO control algorithms and analyzes the bottlenecks limiting improvements in AT O performance.Building on this analysis, an advanced predictive optimization control algorithm for ATO, based on a train m odel, is proposed to address system lag caused by conventional ATO algorithms employing negative feedback regulation and inherent system delays.The algorithm integrates a train model and corresponding track data to plan and optimize ATO guidance curves through train operation simulation. It compensates for resistance disturbance and system delay deviations via sy nchronous model simulation, thereby enhancing the ATO system’s responsiveness to variations in train parameters and extern al track conditions.
