Abstract

This paper explores the simulation problem on multi-objective train operation and proposes the calculation model of train performance. A simulation system has been developed suitable for different running conditions and train parameters. As an emphasis, the paper discusses the evaluation model of train operation under fixed running time between given stations and its elicitation. Finally, the paper introduces the system structure, function and interface. The simulator can help train drivers improve their operation skill and speed up learning process of train driving.
