Railway Systems

Design, simulate, optimize, and implement railway applications.

11Railway technology companies are taking mobility to an incredible level. However, every new innovative idea comes with a set of unique challenges.

MathWorks®, COMSOL®, and Speedgoat products provide railway organizations with innovative solutions to reinvent technologies. Engineers use MATLAB®, Simulink®, COMSOL Multiphysics®, and Speedgoat shorten the time to market, improve performance, reliability, and train network efficiency cost-effectively without sacrificing quality and passenger experience.

Engineers use our products to:

  • Investigate design concept for production
  • Optimize design for best performance
  • Validate design as per the railway’s standards
  • Develop virtual prototypes and digital twins
  • Couple electromagnetics with heat transfer, structural mechanics, fluid flow, and other physical phenomena
  • Test different geometries, thermocouple configurations, and material selection
  • Perform cosimulation with Simulink
  • Build simulation apps

  • Develop, tune, and test high-fidelity real-time control applications for vehicle control units (VCUs), traction control units (TCUs) and
  • automatic train operation (ATO)
  • Accelerate innovation and testing of next-generation railway systems with localization and motion planning
  • Create an accurate simulation of your entire physical vehicle, including all of its electrical, mechanical, and hydraulic components.
  • Perform real-time simulations of complex models in real-time, including Multifunction Vehicle Bus (MVB) and Wire Train Bus (WTB) communication protocols
  • Verify traction control management systems
  • Conduct inspections and verifications of the operational and fault conditions, such as electrical faults and grid transients.
