Performance Measurement Systems of the Scaled Active Steering Railway Vehicle using the Telemetry Systems

摘要

This paper describes the performance measurement system of the active steering railway vehicle with the scaled test bed using the acquisition system about the wheel lateral force. Active steering system of railway vehicles has proven its ability to bridge the gap between stability and curve friendliness. This scaled testbed system consists of two steering actuators, a steering controller, and various sensor systems to detect lateral displacement, vibration, track curvature, and sensor systems. To compare with the various control strategies, we installed the telemetry systems on the steering wheelsets to detect the wheel/rail lateral force. Running test results of 1/5 scaled active steering vehicle on the curved track show that the proposed measuring system has good performance.
