Abstract

The paper describes and compares some applications of neuro- fuzzy (NF) systems to estimate the speed of a train from the measure- ment of the velocity of two axles in any wheel/rail adhesion conditions. All the presented NF approaches outperforms the firstly designed crisp algorithm in terms of computational burden and some of them achieve also a significative performance improvement, by demonstrating their capability of learning from rough data.
