A study of an active steering bogie system for the curve negotiation on a sharp curved track
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, analysis for reducing lateral forces is implemented by using a railway vehicle model on a sharp curved track. Also, in order to minimize some problems when a railway vehicle runs on a sharp curved track, an active-steering bogie system is investigated. An active steering bogie system of a railway vehicle is designed to alleviate contact forces and to decrease wear of wheel/rail interaction. This paper describes a modelling of an active steering and a control system for curving performance. Results of simulation, which are lateral forces and wear number of wheels, show more improvement than conventional railway vehicle. Proposed model is more effective on a sharp curved track.

Application of Braking/Traction Control Systems to the Scaled Active Steering Testbed in the Railway Vehicle
Active steering system of railway vehicles has proven its ability to bridge the gap between stability and curve friendliness. Generally scaled railway vehicles were developed to reproduce the fundamental dynamic behavior of the full size railway vehicle in laboratory conditions. This paper describes the design of the braking/traction control systems as a part of a 1/5 scaled railway vehicle for...
متن کاملInvestigating on the Effects of Random Irregularities of Railway Track by Half-Bogie Model
The vibrations produced by trains include two parts which are deterministic and random vibrations. Due to variation of dynamic loads and patterns of load-time, the random vibration of moving train is one of the most important issues in the field of railway engineering. One of the important sources in producing the train vibrations is rail roughness and irregularities. In this paper, responses o...

This paper presents an active steering control strategy that improves the performance of rail vehicles on track curves. The control scheme is developed to explore the usually symmetrical arrangement of bogie suspensions such that only simple and practical sensors are needed. The vehicle configuration and requirements of wheelset steering on curves are explained, before the detailed control desi...
متن کاملControl Alternatives for Yaw Actuated Force Steered Bogies
A new design for actively steered bogies (Simson S., 2007) has been proposed for tractive rollingstock to improve not only wheel rail wear and rolling contact fatigue but to also improve wheel rail adhesion. The new bogie design features forced steering with active yaw control of the secondary suspension. The control alternatives for the new bogie design are limited by the need for the control ...

Nonlinear hunting speeds of railway vehicles running on a tangent track are analytically obtained using Hopf bifurcation theory in this paper. The railway vehicle model consists of nonlinear primary yaw dampers, nonlinear flange contact stiffness as well as the clearance between the wheel flange and rail tread. Linear and nonlinear critical speeds are obtained using Bogoliubov method. A compreh...
