2. On Active Secondary Suspension in Rail Vehicles to Improve Ride Comfort
Abstract : 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 vehicle, which have a negative effect on ride comfort. With conventional passive suspension, it may be difficult to maintain acceptable passenger comfort. READ MORE

4. Towards Active Car Body Suspension in Railway Vehicles
Abstract : Today, most railway suspension systems are passive. The most wide-spread exception isactive car body tilt systems, which are mounted in some high-speed trains. Replacingsome of the passive suspension components with active could reduce the weight and costof the vehicle. READ MORE
