Virtual coupling as an element of interval regulation of train movement
Abstract
The article considers the systems of interval train control based on the technologies of moving block sections and virtual coupling. The features and differences of the technologies based on moving block sections and virtual coupling are revealed. The peculiarities of virtual coupling application are studied in detail in order to meet the minimum train interval and increase the throughput capacity on the sections of the railroad network. The article reveals seven main differences between VCC and PBU for interval control of railway transportation. It is stated that virtual coupling adds additional functionality to automatic train control systems by allowing two or more trains to be virtually coupled as part of a package.
