Effects of steering errors when negotiating sharp simple and reverse curves (IM-SUS-073)

Last updated on 06 December 2013 11:38
The AFT steering geometry has been designed to align the wheelsets almost radial on long curves of constant curvature. On non-uniform curves, however, the steering geometry is incorrect, so that the wheelsets tend to be misaligned relative to the track. To relieve this problem the secondary yaw suspension (Fig. 1)...
