The air spring is the main part of the secondary suspension of passenger railway vehicles.
The aim of this paper is to review existing modelling techniques for air springs in order to …

This literature survey is a course part of my doctoral studies concerning active secondary
suspension in rail vehicles. So far, the project has focused on lateral ride comfort …

This paper presents a novel active suspension control configuration for high speed tilting
railway vehicles which integrates tilt with active lateral secondary suspension. The use of the …

One way to make rail vehicles a competitive means of transportation is to increase running
speed. However, higher speeds usually generate increased forces and accelerations on the …

Active suspensions utilise control systems technology in order to provide a step change in
performance of the dynamic characteristics of railway suspensions, and this chapter is an …

Classic and advance control systems usually designed to improve the performance rail car
suspension systems. In this study, the dynamic modelling and simulation of classic control …

Active tilting control is now one of the technologies utilized widely in high-speed railway
vehicles. This paper tries to decrease the lateral acceleration on passengers (caused by …

This unique and up-to-date work surveys the use of mechatronics in rail vehicles, notably
traction, braking, communications, data sharing, and control. The results include improved …

The electronic-based recently developed railway vehicles compromising at high speeds by
consuming eco-friendly energy and providing better transportation facilities without …

The railway transportation has a significant impact on both the freight and passenger
carriage, therefore it should provide a comfortable, safe, fast and inexpensive riding. In this …
