CBTC Simulation
01Block section management, ATP/ATO logic, train position tracking, and headway optimisation.

A dedicated railway laboratory building capacity in modern rail systems through small-scale simulation testbeds and a rail–city smart corridor living lab.
CE-Rail@UEH is a dedicated railway laboratory focused on operations management, maintenance, signalling systems, and safety certification for modern urban rail. Through small-scale simulation testbeds — rolling stock mock-ups, PTC/CBTC trainers, and SCADA sandboxes — and a real-world Rail-City Smart Corridor Living Lab, the centre delivers practical training, professional certification, and strategic consulting for Vietnam's growing rail network.
A practical simulation environment housing rolling stock mock-ups, CBTC/PTC signalling trainers, and SCADA sandbox systems for operations management training. Delivers scenario-based certification for railway technicians and students in a safe, repeatable environment.
A real urban rail corridor used for site visits, field training, and applied research. Focuses on passenger flow management, TOD planning, last-mile multimodal integration, and PPP/Green Finance structuring — inspired by Tokyo Metro collaborative research programmes.
CE-Rail@UEH is organised around a training & simulation hub and a city-scale living lab. Together they connect the classroom, the laboratory bench, and the operating corridor.
Rolling stock mock-up, signalling simulator, PTC/CBTC training modules, and a SCADA supervisory control sandbox for hands-on training and certification.
Transit-Oriented Development prototypes, passenger-flow experiments, and last-mile integration with e-mobility and micro-mobility solutions. Inspired by collaborative city-operator research programs such as Tokyo Metro.
CE-Rail@UEH advises ministries, cities, operators, and financiers on the full life-cycle of urban and high-speed rail — from workforce strategy to green-finance structuring.
A compact, modular equipment stack that covers vehicle, control, supervision, and operations under one teaching facility.
A full-scale driving cabin and carriage section used for train simulation, driver training, and maintenance drills — from braking profiles to door-cycle diagnostics.
Interlocking logic, route-setting, and track-circuit behaviour reproduced in software, so students can run realistic scenarios including degraded-mode operation and recovery.
Basic Positive Train Control and Communications-Based Train Control training kits for learning movement authority, automatic train protection, and on-board–wayside communication.
A supervisory control and data acquisition sandbox covering power, tunnel ventilation, and station systems — connected to the signalling simulator for integrated operations exercises.
Drag the slider to travel the corridor — see how TOD density, last-mile integration, and passenger flow evolve from station core to the urban edge.
A live rail management simulation showing CBTC signalling, train movement authority, and SCADA supervision. Click a train to inspect its status; use the controls to adjust speed or inject a fault scenario.
Stand up the Rail Systems Lab, establish the first international MoUs, launch the undergraduate programme, and deliver the first ministerial-level policy advisory projects.
Open the Rail-City Smart Corridor Living Lab, introduce master's programmes and international joint programmes, and scale the consulting portfolio across TOD, green finance, and digital twin.
Train tens of thousands of students and professionals, deliver large-scale consultancy for national rail programmes, and anchor multi-country research collaborations.
CE-Rail@UEH becomes a recognised regional hub for urban and high-speed rail research, education, and policy — serving Vietnam and partner countries across Southeast Asia.
Three experimentation themes run continuously along the corridor, each producing data, prototypes, and policy briefs.
Station-area design prototypes — land-use mix, public space, pedestrian networks — tested with operators, local authorities, and residents.
Sensor-based flow measurement, wayfinding experiments, and operations-side scheduling trials to smooth peaks and improve accessibility.
Integration with e-mobility and micro-mobility — bike-share, e-scooters, shared shuttles — including interchange design and fare integration.
Inspired by collaborative city-operator research programmes such as Tokyo Metro site programmes, where live stations and corridors are opened up as shared research infrastructure.

CE-Rail@UEH is built as a shared platform — each partner group gets a specific set of benefits and a specific role.
Leads the rolling-stock and signalling track of the Rail Systems Lab and coordinates the operations-management research line.
Works on smart mobility analytics and the digital-twin layer of the Rail-City Smart Corridor Living Lab.
Researches TOD prototypes and land-value-capture mechanisms for Vietnamese urban rail corridors.
