Abstract: Aiming at problems such as poor training effects caused by backward training methods and incomplete training content for shunting operations in railway marshalling stations, this article designed a training platform for shunting operations in railway marshalling stations based on VR technology. The platform could improve the lack of abnormal shunting operation scene and low training safety in traditional training methods, implement the functions of practice and assessment in normal and abnormal scenarios of shunting operations. Practices prove that the proposed platform raises the enthusiasm of shunting personnel training, improves the safety of training and the comprehensiveness of the training content, and can provide new ideas for the shunting operation training in railway marshalling stations.
