“…He also found the results very promising due to their high accuracy although further validation of the results in a real-life environment and the development of a real-time DT co-simulation are needed in the future. In addition, (Golightly et al 2022) used FMI to design a rail multi-model for rail decarbonisation. They also suggested using the technology to overcome IP issues due to different software tools, models and skills, although there are some limitations such as limited modelling quality, validation of results and lack of comparison between multimodelling and single model.…”

Nowadays, the digitalization of large-scale railway infrastructure systems is a major trend, which helps to reduce the life-cycle costs of the railway transportation. For this purpose, the Digital Twin (DT) technology can be used to interoperate different digital data and models, belonging to the railway infrastructure system, in a virtual platform for predictive maintenance, diagnostics and condition monitoring in the railway sector. However, the simulation models of the infrastructure system are tool-dependent, lack ease-of-use and platform compatibility. Therefore, we have to customise them in order to make them more representative and then integrate easily and tool-independently into the DT platform. For this purpose, we propose to use the Functional Mock-up Interface (FMI) and System Structure Parameterization (SSP) technologies as open interface standards between the models and software tools. In this work, we demonstrate the application of the FMI and SSP standards separately for two use cases, which include a multibody simulation (MBS) model of a railway vehicle and residual life time (RLT) calculation of a steel bridge.

“…In this work proposed layout is studied and optimized using an innovative simulation tool in which it is possible to evaluate different aspects related to mission management (eco-driving), train longitudinal dynamics, sizing and optimization of both traction and energy management systems. Proposed model is aligned to most recent developments for what concern cyber-phisical simulation of this kind of solutions 21,22 including model transportability to different simulation environments. 23 In particular, in this work, authors propose to optimize the design of the system respect to different objectives and constraints to broadly verify the robustness of performed optimization.…”

Diesel multiple units (DMU) offer an affordable alternative to electric trains on lines in which infrastructural and maintenance costs of electrification are not justified. A further improvement of sustainability involves the abandonment of internal combustion engines in favour of an electric power train sustained by an on-board storage system. In this work, the authors propose a model to perform a rapid simulation of hybrid storage systems based on hydrogen fuel cells,a technology that should be complementary with respect to battery-operated trains. The proposed tool is applied, as a benchmark test case, to a modular passenger train devoted to regional service. Obtained results clearly demonstrate the capabilities of proposed tools and give useful indications for a feasible optimization and integration of fuel cells for railway applications.
