THE MODELLING OF A TRAIN SYSTEM USING MATLAB/SIMULINK

Abstract

Model-based systems engineering is widely used in the automotive and avionics domain but less in the railway domain. This paper shows that Matlab/Simulink can be used to develop the mathematical model for the train system from first principles and then represented the derived equations. To this end, an executable model has been implemented which allows for train movement simulation, this means that the engine first went forward, then backward.
