This paper surveys advances in the understanding and modelling of wheel–rail creep
forces. The main focus is placed on tribological aspects, for which significant progress was …

Single and dual dry clutches are widely used in automotive transmissions because of their
reliability and efficiency paired with low fuel consumption and reduction of pollutant …

The evolution of wheel-rail dynamic interaction of a high-speed railway vehicle is essential
for the simulation of wheel-rail rolling contact damage under low adhesion conditions. The …

The effects of low temperature on the adhesion coefficient under both dry and degraded
adhesion conditions are investigated using a rolling-sliding apparatus. The results indicate …

A brake hardware-in-the-loop simulation (HILS) system for a railway vehicle is widely
applied to estimate and validate braking performance in research studies and field tests …

Green shuttle vehicle (GSV) is a multi-purpose, four wheeled electric vehicle designed to
operate in naturally protected areas where the conventional vehicles with internal …

Unlike regular automotive vehicles, which are designed to travel in different types of roads,
railway vehicles travel mostly in the same route during their life cycle. To accept the …

The accurate modelling of the wheel–rail contact plays a fundamental role in the railway
field since the contact forces heavily affect the vehicle dynamics, the wear of the contact …

Assessment of railway wheel slide protection (WSP) systems involves the execution of
complex experimental activities that are quite expensive and time-consuming, since they …

Gear–wheelset system is a crucial substructure in railway vehicles which affects the
operation safety and system reliability, especially in the process of traction and braking …
