Abstract
In this paper we give an overview of existing vehicle-to-vehicle channel models for
the road and railway sector. Published models for the special application of train-totrain
(T2T) communications are evaluated. Advantages and disadvantages of different
modelling techniques are discussed to create a basis for a future T2T model. Based on
the literature research the architecture for a broadband T2T channel model is
presented. The model architecture is applied to different environments and the most
important objects along the railway lines. A first examination of measurement data
collected in the Roll2Rail project is discussed. The focus is on the received signal
power, the latency and the influence of the different environments on those two
measures. The measured scenarios include the environments station, open terrain,
cuttings, walls, and tunnels.
