HIGH SPEED FREIGHT TRAINS ASSESSING THEIR DYNAMIC PERFORMANCE Kyoung Do Kang, Professor Peter Foyer Dr Michael Blundell Coventry University School of Engineering Priory Street Coventry CV1 5FB England, UK kyungdo@ KEYWORDS: TracTruc, Dynamic, bimodal, ADAMS/Rail, High Speed Freight Trains, ABSTRACT The future of freight on rail seems to be speed, both to satisfy the needs of the JIT (Just in Time) services and to reduce in differences between freight and passenger trains. This paper discusses a programme of the experiments is to understand the system’s dynamic behaviour. A realistic dynamic model was created using ADAMS/Rail of the TracTruc bimodal system, and design rules developed for this type of bimodal system to control its stability and dynamic envelope. There is little evidence of other work on high-speed bimodal trains. The paper discusses the use of simulators, such as ADAMS/Rail, VAMPIRE and SIMPACK to model and optimise dynamic performance. The purpose of the experiments is to understand how to reduce and control dynamic deflections of the suspension (secondary and primary). This will enable decisions which have to be made concerning parameters affecting the performance of suspensions and processes in the TracTruc project. A set of experiments was designed using Taguchi theory. The loss function quantifies the effects of different design factors on the performance of the system. The paper presents a number of examples of tests on the virtual bimodal system taken from the TracTruc development project. In particular, the implications of the very large gross/tare ratio of freight trains and of major discontinuities in track construction and g
