Abstract

This paper investigates the use of computer software for simulation experiments in teaching the working principle of automatic block signaling system to students majoring in rail transit communication and signaling. Automatic block signaling system is a critical railway technology that dynamically adjusts signal displays based on train location and block occupancy. Understanding this principle is crucial for students in the field. The paper explores the implementation of CADe SIMU and Simulink from MATLAB software to construct experimental circuits, showcasing the results of these simulations. By comparing examination scores from classes that did and did not utilize simulation-aided learning, the study demonstrates that simulation experiments significantly improve learning outcomes, as evidenced by increases in average scores, excellent grades, and overall pass rates.
