Virtual radar for the railway of tomorrow – testing automated trains in a virtual environment
This article presents a method for developing and validating a virtual radar sensor model designed to simulate automated train operations as part of the Digitale Schiene Deutschland (DSD) sector initiative. The model generates realistic sensor data in a digital environment and supports the evaluation and future validation of radar-based object detection systems used in automated trains. An initial validation has been carried out under controlled laboratory conditions so as to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the virtual sensor....
