EVOLUTION OF BOGIES FOR FAST ROLLING STOCK

EVOLUZIONE DEI CARRELLI PER ROTABILI MOTORI VELOCI

Competitiveness with other means of transport imposes on the Railways, in addition to an improvement of the services (such as speed, safety and comfort), an appreciable reduction in expenditure for the maintenance of rolling stock and track. Rolling stock with satisfactory running qualities can be obtained only with bogies of particular design, making use of appropriate constructional solutions made available by the latest techniques. For the coding of the constructional principles, means of measurement are available which permit an exact knowledge of the influence of various parameters, leading one, at the same time, towards fundamental choices for running stability. A brief indication is given of the lines followed in the design of the latest bogies for Italian Railroad rolling stock, bringing out the results in practical tests and the savings achieved in the field of construction and maintenance.
