1. Towards adaptive bogie design
Abstract : Suspension components play a crucial role in bogie dynamics behavior. In this regard, passive and active systems are developed to meet various design requirements. Adaptive suspension systems can adjust the bogie dynamics with respect to different operational scenarios and as a result improve the vehicle performance. READ MORE

2. On Derailment-Worthiness in Rail Vehicle Design : Analysis of vehicle features influencing derailment processes and consequences
Abstract : This thesis aims at systematically studying the possibilities of minimizing devastating consequences of high-speed rail vehicle derailments by appropriate measures and features in the train design including the running gear. Firstly, an empirical database is established containing as much relevant information as possible of past incidents and accidents that have occurred at substantial running speeds due to mechanical failure close to the interface between the running gear and the track.

3. Multiobjective Optimisation and Active Control of Bogie Suspension
Abstract : Railways provide fast, safe, clean, and cheap transportation service. The cost efficiency inrailway operations can be scrutinized from different perspectives. READ MORE

4. Multi-objective optimization of railway bogie suspension damping
Abstract : In this thesis multi-objective optimization is used to find Pareto fronts showing the set of optimized damping parameters of primary and secondary bogie suspensions. Special interests are put on requirements to enhance safety and comfort of a railway vehicle. READ MORE

5. On the Influence of Rail Vehicle Parameters on the Derailment Process and its Consequences
Abstract : This thesis aims at systematically studying the possibilities of minimising devastatingconsequences of high-speed derailments by appropriate measures and features in thetrain design, including the running gear. The course of events immediately afterderailments is studied with respect to whether the train stays upright and close to thetrack centre line or deviates laterally with probably serious consequences.
