Nonlinear vibration control theory has resolved some bottleneck problems that cannot be solved by traditional linear vibration control theories. In this study, intelligent controllable magneto‐rheological dampers (MR‐Ds) and high‐static‐low‐dynamic variable stiffness vibration isolators (VS‐VIs) are innovatively applied to a traditional steel‐spring floating slab track (FST) to improve its low‐frequency vibration‐reduction effect. To determine the reasonable parameter group of the VS‐VI and the parameter matching when used with MR‐D, parameter groups were first preliminarily proposed through static and dynamic analyses of the equivalent single‐degree‐of‐freedom (SDOF) model of the FST. A vertical vehicle–variable stiffness‐magneto‐rheological FST coupled dynamic model was established, and the parameter group was optimized based on safety and vibration‐reduction analyses. The simulated results showed that the positive and negative stiffnesses were the key parameters that determined the stiffness nonlinearity level and dynamic support capacity of the VS‐VI. Improving the positive stiffness is necessary to achieve a low‐dynamic stiffness under no vehicle load and to ensure the millimeter‐level dynamic displacement of the FST under vehicle load. An appropriate stiffness nonlinearity level can achieve a better vibration‐reduction effect, and excessive nonlinearity level will not bring more significant improvements. The damping ratio in the dynamic analysis is a key parameter to prevent the jumping phenomenon, and the recommended value should not be less than 5%. Moreover, when the VS‐VI and the MR‐D were efficiently incorporated, a smaller MR damping force and larger displacement threshold could not only achieve a better vibration‐reduction effect but also reduce the energy consumption.
