Abstract
In this invention there is disclosed a system and method for tuning look-ahead error measurements that is used to improve the train handling performance of a rail-based transportation system. A look-ahead error module along with a fuzzy logic controller is synthesized to ensure that a train simulator complies to a prescribed speed limit over a specified track profile while providing a smooth ride. A genetic algorithm is used to adjust the parameters of the look-ahead error module.
