Abstract
The steering type of a mechanical guidance system has been used for Automated Guideway Transit (ACT) system in Japan. Recently, the single-axle bogie system has developed for AGT vehicle and applied to Yurikamome 7200 series. This paper describes dynamic characteristics of AGT vehicle with single-axle bogie system and steering system in earthquake. By using multibody dynamics code, vehicle and elevated guideway are modeled that a computer simulation in case of earthquake is carried out. Dynamic characteristics of automated guideway transit vehicle on elevated guideway is shown.
