Abstract:

A procedure for the selection of rail passenger truck design parameters to meet dynamic performance indices has been developed. The procedure is based upon partitioning the design task into three tradeoff studies: (1) a vertical ride quality-secondary stroke trade-off, (2) a lateral ride quality-second stroke trade-off, and (3) a stability curving trade-off. The procedure is illustrated with the selection of design parameters for an intercity 130-mph vehicle and an urban 80-mph vehicle.
