- Abstract
In this paper, the state of the art of railway vehicle dynamics is presented. Much of the attention is paid to the performance characteristics such as lateral stability, curving, multibody simulation, wheel to track interaction, ride quality and comfort. The scope and limitations of linear and nonlinear analyses for vehicle dynamics are reviewed. Two and three dimensional theories for wheel-to-track interaction are discussed. Detailed analysis of ride quality and comfort evaluation methods is presented. Some concluding remarks are discussed along with further directions of research in the railway vehicle dynamics.
