In the design of rail vehicle, the compatibility between high speed running stability and good curving performance is quite important Various railway vehicles with steering mechanism have been considered Even though some steering bogies are realized on service operation, there still remains some improvement in the passive vehicle design for tighter curved track. The proposed bogie with power-steering yaw damper enables the vehicle to realize ideal curving performance on tight curved track with active control while achieving high speed running stability with passive nature of the suspension. In this paper, the theory of power-steering bogie is explained. In order to verify the performance of the newly developed steering bogie, the scaled model experimental platform with 1/10 model vehicle is originally made and experimental results show the running performance.
