In recent years, virtual coupling trains have attracted extensive attention, which use reliable train to train (T2T) communication technology to realize train short-range tracking. When the headway between trains is small enough, it can be considered that a virtual coupling fleet is formed. Based on this concept, trains no longer rely on mechanical couplers to realize coupling. In this paper, several operation modes suitable for virtual coupling trains are proposed, and the operation scheme design methods are studied. Then taking Beijing Metro Batong line as an example, the genetic algorithm is used to solve the train operation scheme. Comparing the virtual coupling operation scheme with the current scheme, the results show that the virtual coupling scheme can effectively shorten the passenger travel time while ensuring the passenger traffic volume.
