AB - Heavy-haul trains require exact control mechanisms to ensure safety, stability, and efficiency. However, when actuators reach their saturation limits, the control system's performance can degrade, leading to instability and tracking errors. In this paper, we propose an adaptive sliding mode tracking algorithm designed to handle the effects of actuator saturation. The algorithm dynamically adjusts control inputs to maintain stability, minimize tracking errors, and improve robustness against external disturbances. We demonstrate the algorithm's effectiveness in various actuator saturation scenarios through simulations.
