Contributions of vehicle dynamics to the energy efficient operation of road and rail vehicles

This review addresses efforts made within the field of vehicle dynamics to contribute energy efficient operation road and rail vehicles. Selected investigations research community develop technology solutions reduce consumption are presented. The study explores impact potential relatively mature technologies such as regenerative braking, but also recent directions that seeking suspensions, a concept common both transport modes. Specifically for vehicles, includes rear wheel steering, camber control torque vectoring, vehicles active steering light-weighting. Operationally, there would appear be great in wider adoption connected driver advisory systems, automatic train including application machine learning techniques optimise speed trajectories across route. Similarly, predictive cooperative eco-driving strategies show significant savings autonomous
