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 …

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 …

As a hot topic in railways, virtual coupling technology connects multiple trains (units) as a
virtually coupled train set (VCTS) and aims to improve the performance of train operation by …

Among the numerous challenges that are faced during the daily operation of high-speed rail,
the management of the neutral zones in the catenary during unexpected disturbances …

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 …

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 …

As an emerging technology, virtual coupling improves the efficiency and flexibility of metro
services by forming multiple trains (units) as a virtually coupled train set (VCTS) without …

In recent decades, the demand for rail transport has been growing steadily and faces a
double problem. Not only must the transport capacity be increased, but also a more flexible …

The new railway mobility paradigm Virtual Coupling, recognized as one of the most
promising solutions to face the ever-increasing demand in railway transportation and the …
