Abstract

Research and development on high-speed railway systems and particularly its automatic control systems, are introduced. Numerical modeling of high-speed trains in the Chinese high-speed train system and its associate automatic control systems are described in detail. Moreover, modeling and simulation of train operation systems are analyzed and demonstrated.
