| Summary: | ||
| Virtual coupling technology, enabled by highly reliable train-to-train communication and cooperative control, allows trains to operate in a dynamically coupled manner, achieving extremely short-distance tracking and flexible consist reconfiguration without physical coupling. It is regarded as a next-generation technology for railway operation control. This special session aims to bring together research on dynamic modeling of virtually coupled train operations, intelligent dispatching optimization models and algorithms, and cooperative operation control models and algorithms, thereby providing methodological and decision-making support for the development of next-generation virtually coupled train operation technologies. | ||
