Design and Implementation of a Software-in-the-Loop Based Driving Test Simulator of Virtual Coupling Systems

Key Points

• The aim is to propose and implement a software-based simulator for testing core driving functions of virtual coupling systems in next-generation train control.
• Developed a driving signal emulator for train control and state monitoring.
• Implemented a message relay server for communication among multiple trains.
• Utilized a virtual test track to validate driving scenarios.
• The simulator accurately simulated the dynamic state of the train.
• It effectively provided an environment to test the control algorithms of the virtual coupling system.
