This paper presents the outline of the developed experimental setup for guideway vehicles with scaled model. It is important to study on the interaction between wheel and rail to improve the running performance of vehicles. The scaled model experiments are very useful from the viewpoint of cost and availability. The test machine with roller rig has several drawbacks in simulation of tight curved truck. In the developed experimental setup, it has a tight curved truck(R=3.3m) with variable cant. This allows us to observe the wheelset behavior under the various curved truck conditions. This paper shows the detailed feature of the set up and application plans for experimental study on some new projects.
