A method for trains to establish a virtual coupling (VC) operation mode, which includes: successively determining whether adjacent preceding and following trains on a same line meet initial conditions and formation conditions of the VC; and performing VC on both trains meeting the initial conditions and formation conditions, and determining the VC of all trains on the line through the above determination method to obtain an overall VC. The method further including controlling operation of a leading train in the overall VC according to driving permission of the VC, and controlling operation of each of remaining following trains based on communication with the corresponding adjacent preceding train in combination with the following train's own driving information. An establishment process of forming a VC operation mode, thereby improving efficiency of train transportation and flexibility of organization and scheduling.
