Understanding critical rail vehicle design issues and associated dynamic responses is fundamental to guaranteeing safe and cost-effective operations of modern railways. The increasing demands for safer rail vehicles with higher speed and higher loads, requires a better understanding of the factors that affect their dynamic performance. This text covers the advanced simulation techniques that allow such innovations to be examined in detail and optimized before the costly process of introducing them into the operational vehicle environment on a rail network.

This book reports on research on wheel-rail contact carried out by the Railway Technology Lab at Politecnico di Torino in its project to develop a real-time wheel-rail contact model, and provides simulation results obtained with dSpace real-time hardware.
