A study of the lateral stability of APT 300 fitted with BT11, BT12 and BP17 bogies (TM-DOS-24)

Theoretical calculations show that the performance of Advanced Passenger Train 250, in terms of lateral stability, can be extended to a speed of 300km/h without recourse to major suspension and component changes. This can be realised by restricting the conicity range to 0.05 - 0.15, which could probably be achieved...
