The construction of an accurate train control model (TCM) is crucial to the design of
automatic train operation and real-time traffic management systems in high-speed railways …

In railway systems, the train dynamics are usually affected by the external environment (eg,
snow and wind) and wear-out of on-board equipment, leading to the performance …

Metro rail energy efficiency needs to be improved to compensate for growing capacity
demand. Eco-driving aims to reduce energy consumption without affecting safety and …

It needs some seconds for a signal, which is created from brake application, to travel from
the first part of the train system (locomotive) to the end part of it (last wagon). Delay in time of …

The objectives of this work are to model spatially resolved passenger locomotive fuel use
and emission rates, locate emissions hotspots, and identify strategies to reduce trip train fuel …

Train speed profile is one of the most fundamental optimization issues in rail transportation.
The speed profile has several indices, such as travel time and energy consumption. These …

When a train crashes with another train at a high speed, it will lead to significant financial
losses and societal costs. Carrying out a train-to-train crash test is of great significance to …

Modelling train dynamics is essential for the platoon control of virtually coupled train sets
(VCTS). Variable rail-wheel conditions and high data collection costs pose substantial …

An energy-efficient train trajectory corresponds to the speed profile of a train between two
stations that minimizes energy consumption while respecting the scheduled arrival time and …

This paper puts forward the robust control problem of rail vehicle virtual coupling platoon
that is subject to nonlinear and time-varying uncertainties. The uncertainties are caused by …
