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 …

This paper provides a systematic review of emerging control techniques used for railway
virtual coupling (VC) studies. Train motion models are first reviewed, including model …

This paper developed a parallel computing architecture for high-fidelity virtual coupling
simulations. Multi-body train dynamics models considered various nonlinear components …

In order to meet the rapid growth of railway transportation demand, the technology that can
improve its capacity has been widely concerned. Virtual Coupling (VC) is a new technology …

Today's railway network capacity is limited by constraints imposed by traditional train
protection systems. A way to overcome those limitations, maximize the railway network …

Virtual Coupling (VC) is a hot research topic in railways about future train operation systems.
In VC, trains will drive in a minimum distance as a convoy without physically coupled. The …

To improve the model accuracy and control efficiency for the movements of a virtual
formation, this paper investigates distributed optimal control for the virtual formation control …

Detailed simulations of car and train platoons are critical steps towards successful
implementations of the platooning technologies. This paper developed a simulation method …

Virtual Coupling (VC) is a hot topic in railways. A virtually coupled train set operates as a
single train and consists of multiple unit trains (UTs). Each UT keeps a desired gap distance …

Virtual coupling is regarded as an efficient way to improve the line capacity of rail
transportation systems by reducing the spacing between consecutive trains. This paper is …
