Mechatronicaly controlles bogie of high speed train

Abstract

With the development of high-speed rail, the requirements for control the motion of rail vehicle bogies are increasing. The chassis setting is responsible for the safety and comfort of the vehicle. The main problem is the conflict of the damping requirements for different driving modes. On one hand, it is necessary to ensure the stability of the bogie on fast straight track and, on the other hand, it is good curving performance. The contribution will discuss the possibilities of mechatronic control of high-speed train bogies to solve this conflict. There are two ways: a control of the individual wheelsets and a control of the entire bogie. The control can be implemented by actuators, or dampers in adaptive or semi-active mode.With the development of high-speed rail, the requirements for control the motion of rail vehicle bogies are increasing.
