Numerical simulation of train dynamics is a complex problem. It requires the application of different fields of mechanics such as multibody system dynamics, contact mechanics, fluid dynamics for finding solutions of adequate accuracy. The approach for the real time simulation of train dynamics by using the program package “Universal Mechanism” and its application to the development of train driving simulator are presented.
