An interactive online demonstrator shows virtual coupling in railway operation. Could new operating procedures like slip coaching revolutionise rail transport?

An interactive online demonstrator was created to show the effects of the virtual coupling and slip coaching. The software consists of a graphical user interface and offers users the possibility to change numerous parameters and directly view the effects. The aim is to give interested users an overview of the technological basics and the current state of development. Furthermore, the expected effects on a railway system operated with virtual coupling and slip coaching will be clarified.
