In this paper, a novel approach to train control systems based on virtual coupling is
presented. Virtual coupling is a concept that has evolved from platooning of vehicles and …

This paper proposes a linear recursive Bayesian filter for minimum variance unbiased joint
input and state estimation of structural systems. Unlike the augmented Kalman filter (AKF) …

In the cruise control of the virtual coupled train set (VCTS), the control algorithm with high
stability, high accuracy, and fast convergence speed is the basic requirement for the smooth …

This paper studied an emerging technology called Dynamic Coupling that to allow physical
coupling and decoupling of railway trains at cruising speeds. A train controller and a train …

We model railway traffic dynamics based on microscopic behavior of vehicles, ie speed and
distance between vehicles. We consider domain dynamics (eg signalling system, kinematic …

Instantaneous output‐only inversion of a system with delayed appearance of input
influences on the measured outputs via filtering methods suffer from intensive amplification …

Jamming to satellite navigation signals has become a major threat to the safety critical train
control systems using Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), where the Virtual Balise …

A key strategy for increasing railway capacity is utilizing infrastructure more efficiently. While
much research has been completed on methods for assessing railway capacity, very little …

Abstract European Train Control System (ETCS) is the signalling and control component of
the European Rail Traffic Management System (ERTMS). This system is essential to …

Assigning inspection trains to monitor track quality is a standard procedure for maintaining
railway system safety. The main challenges lie in lacking time and resources to perform the …
