3101 Study on the decrease of Vibration of Railway Vehicles by Control of Steering on Wheelset

Abstract

Experimental investigations were carried out to make clear the effect of control of steering on wheelset to decrease the lateral vibration of railway vehicle running on the track with alignment irregularity. The running experiments used the model bogie of about 1/8 reduced scales were done. It became clear that the bogie lateral vibration could be reduced to the under half with steering control. Moreover, motion equations of control bogie were derived for the simulation.
