Abstract

This paper aims to present a controller to optimize the lateral bridge displacement by controlling the speed of the train passing over it. The controller assumed for this purpose is a Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) controller. The results will be simulated based on and compared to the actual bridge displacement measured on the bridge during a train passing event.
