It is necessary for Light Rail Vehicle (LRV) to run on sharp curves smoothly. When LRV pass the tight curve, increase of the lateral force becomes serious problem. In the previous research, active control bogie with arranged linkage mechanism has been proposed and it enables the bogie to realize ideal curving. Active steering control requires sensors, actuators and other electronic devices. Therefore, it tends to become complex structure. In this paper, the newly proposed steering bogie with simple mechanism with semi-active damper is studied.
