METHOD OF DETERMINING THE RUNNING SMOOTHNESS FROM THE FREQUENCY CHARACTERISTICS OF ROLLING STOCK

VERFAHREN ZUR ERMITTLUNG DER WAGENLAUFGUTE AUS DEM FREQUENZGANG DES FAHRZEUGES

From various tests made to evaluate the smoothness of running of a railway vehicle, a smoothness coefficient, W (sub z), was derived. This article describes in detail mathematically how this coefficient, W (sub z) can be calculated in advance for any given vehicle from a knowledge of the track and vehicle characteristics. These calculations can only be accomplished by a digital computer. This process can be used to calculate coefficients during the engineering stages of new equipment.
