Suspension performance study of a proposed 2 axle railbus with integral body and underframe (PP) (TR-DOS-037)

Theoretical comparisons have been made between an existing Railbus design (Class 142) and a proposal for a vehicle with integral underframe using either airsprings or flexicoil suspensions. Vehicle dynamic stability, ride and quasi-static displacements have been investigated. Calculations suggest that a vehicle with integral underframe can perform in terms...
