英文摘要

      Heavy haul train is an important transportation way of bulk commodity in our country. The control of heavy haul train becomes difficult due to factors such as heavy load, long body length, and complex line conditions. In this paper, the train operation process is divided into three stages: startup mode, cruise mode, and brake mode. Based on the longitudinal dynamics model of the multi-point mass heavy haul train, the common air brake is considered, using soft actorcritic (SAC) reinforcement learning method, combined with expert contorl strategy that trained by recurrent neural network fitting with expertise data, which called “behavior clone”, to supervise reinforcement learning process. A new intelligent driving control strategy is trained. The strategy in this paper can efficiently learn the driving experience data, continuously improve the total reward from the learning, and obtain the optimal control strategy. The result of simulation shows that the control strategy proposed in this paper is better than the reinforcement learning algorithm that is not supervised by the expert model, the period of reward promotion is faster, higher rewards can be obtained, and the training controller operates more efficiently and stably.
