The design and implementation of the metro driving simulation system based on virtual reality

Since London opens the first metro in 1863, more than 100 cities have opened metro around the world, and the total metro lines have increased to more than 6000 km. The metro control system also has been greatly developed, especially in the field of its new technologies, such as automatic driving and automatic control. With the popularity of the metro, railway traffic related technical personnel´s demand also increases. In the light of the metro operation equipments expensive and the particularity of the metro system, using the metro equipments to train technical personnel is not feasible. In this paper, a simulation driving system that we developed is introduced in order to display its features, system framework and technical route. The implementation of this system, especially the part of the three-dimensional scene, is mainly depending on reality technology. After finishing the simulated driving function, this system which has been put in use realizes the training function.
