The use of non-symmetric plan view stiffness in rapid transit steering bogies (TM-DOS-118)

This report examines the stability and curving behaviour of bogies having different primary yaw stiffnesses at their two axles. It is shown that the curving/stability compromise can be alleviated by adopting this idea in 3-piece bolsterless cross-braced rapid transit bogies. However, the advantages to be gained by similar changes to...
