Simulation and Simulation Software Development of the Braking Process of a Subway Train

Abstract:

This paper deals with the problem of braking process modeling. A subway train braking process simulation software is built, which composes of a GUI and a underlying model. The underlying model consists of a train model and a brake system model. The train model is simplified and built by assembling subcomponent element models of a railway vehicle. The brake system model is simplified and built based on experimental data in order to reduce computational effort. The GUI of the software can be use to input model parameters, display simulation results, and store simulation data. As a result of the simplifications of the modeling process, the developed software can perform real time simulation.
