1E13 Evaluation of a steering bogie about running resistance and power consumption(Environment and Energy)

抄録

There are many problems in a sharp curve negotiation such as large lateral force, squeal noises and excessive wear of wheel flange and rail gauge corner. To solve these problems, a single axle steering truck has been developed by Tokyo Metro and Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal Corporation, and Tokyo Metro adopted this newly developed steering bogie for the new train series 1000 for Ginza Line. Previous study has not clarified advantages of a steering bogie about running resistance and power consumption. This report shows comparison between a steering bogie and a conventional bogie about curving performance with a full scale bogie on roller rigs.
