METHOD APPLICABLE TO THE ASSESSMENT OF RAILWAY VEHICLE SAFETY AND RIDING QUALITY IN THE EVENT OF CROSS WINDS AND FAULTY TRACK ALIGNMENT

METHODE ZUR VORAUSBERECHNUNG DER SICHERHEIT UND DER LAUFGUETE VON EISENBAHNFAHRZEUGEN BEI SEITENWIND UND UEBERLAGERTEN RICHTUNGSFEHLERN

Aerodynamic considerations applied to high-speed railway vehicles include vehicle behaviour in the event of cross wind or gusts of wind. With the model presented in this article, it is possible to calculate accurately vehicle response to these situations, taking into account faulty alignment of the track. The use of this linear calculation model and its limits are demonstrated by means of a calculation example concerning 103 series locomotives.
