Achieving precise stopping of electric locomotives is crucial for the realization of intelligent and unmanned auxiliary transportation systems. Presently, human drivers play a central role in ensuring accurate stopping, presenting obstacles to automation and cargo location precision, especially within the coal mining sector. This article centers on achieving the precise stopping of electric locomotives under various conditions through the utilization of permanent magnet synchronous motor-driven locomotives. This approach introduces a novel stopping control method that integrates a fuzzy proportional–integral–derivative (F-PID) controller with a vector control model for permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSM). Subsequently, we develop the F-PID controller using the PMSM technique, incorporating new fuzzy rules for each subsystem to enhance control accuracy and efficiency. Finally, extensive simulations and real-world experiments are conducted on an electric locomotive stopping test bed to validate the effectiveness of the proposed control method. The results show that the method consistently achieves precise stopping under diverse working conditions, with an error of less than 0.3 m, confirming its robustness and reliability.

Accurate fault diagnosis of mining hoisting head sheave systems is critical for ensuring operational safety in harsh underground environments. This study proposes a multi-source fault diagnosis framework that fuses vibration and acoustic information using a Convolutional Neural Network and Random Forest (CNN-RF). To support mechanism understanding and validate the experimental platform, finite element and multi-body dynamics simulations (ANSYS/ADAMS) are employed for physical verification and fault signature analysis, while the CNN-RF model is trained and tested exclusively using experimentally acquired vibration and acoustic data. For feature construction, vibration signals are transformed into time–frequency representations (including STFT, CWT, and generalized S-Transform (GST)), and acoustic signals are characterized using Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCCs). Experimental results demonstrate that vibration–acoustic fusion improves diagnostic performance compared with single-modality baselines; the best performance is achieved by GST+MFCC with the proposed CNN-RF classifier, reaching an accuracy of 98.96%. Future work will conduct cross-condition validation under varying speeds and loads and investigate missing-modality robustness to further assess generalization and deployment reliability.
