RECENT SWEDISH WORK ON RAIL VEHICLE DYNAMICS

Since 1968, the Swedish Railways have done a considerable amount of research on railway vehicle dynamics and running stability. The article gives the main results of work achieved by linear analysis, analog simulation, digital simulation, and hybrid simulation, of models with up to 45 degrees of freedom and very different, sometimes quite new vehicle configurations.
