Accurate traffic state (ie, flow, speed, density, etc.) on an urban road network is important
information for urban traffic control and management strategies. However, due to the …

The current mobility situation is constantly changing as people are increasingly moving to
urban areas. Therefore, a flexible mode of transport with high-capacity passenger trains and …

The increasing demand for capacity in railway transportation has spawned the concept of
virtual coupling (VC), which can further shorten the intertrain distance by applying …

This paper presents an analytic optimal control method for the virtually coupled train set
(VCTS) in high-speed railway, aiming at maintaining consistent speed and safe spacing …

Virtual coupling (VC) is an advanced technology in train control systems, which enables
trains to run information with a small tracking interval. Hence, it can significantly increase the …

As the brain and nervous system of high-speed railways, the high-speed train control system
is critical to the safe and efficient operation of trains. With the expanding of the high-speed …

Virtual Coupling (VC) is regarded as a breakthrough to the traditional train operation and
control for improving the capability and flexibility in railways. It brings benefits as trains under …

This paper presents a robust event-triggered model predictive control (MPC) strategy for
multiple high-speed trains (MHSTs) with random switching topologies. Due to the …

In this work, a distributed fault-tolerant control strategy is proposed for cooperative operation
of high-speed trains (HSTs) subject to unmodeled dynamics, time-varying external …

Virtual coupling, as an emerging concept in railways, expects successive trains in a virtually
coupled train set (VCTS) to maintain a short following distance. However, this close …
