Dynamic train unit coupling and decoupling at cruising speed: Systematic classification, operational potentials, and research agenda

The possibility to couple train units into consists, which can be vehicles or platoons, has been proposed to improve, among other, average passenger speed, energy efficiency, and railway infrastructure capacity utilization. We systematically review and categorize the technologies and application of...
