Analysis and Optimization of Driving Attitude and Oscillation Characteristics of Suspension-Type Small Rail Vehicles

الملخص EN

Suspension-type small rail personal rapid transit systems are widely concerned due to their high efficiency and reliability.

The increasing demands for ride comfort have put forward higher requirements for vehicle stationarity.

In the study, with a single-bogie vehicle as the research object, a dynamic equation and a simulation model are firstly established to calculate the attitude angle and lateral velocity of the vehicle.

Then, with the small amplitude and fast attenuation of the attitude angle and lateral velocity in a straight line and a bend as optimization objectives, the simulation model is optimized in terms of a series of variables, including the bogie with or without the supporting wheel, the supporting wheel tread, the driving wheel tread, the guide wheel tread, and the changes of the center of mass of the vehicle.

Then, the problem of severe vehicle pitch with the double-bogie structure is solved.

Finally, the simulation results and the optimization scheme are experimentally verified.

The above optimization measures can significantly improve the driving stationarity of suspension-type small rail vehicles and enhance ride comfort.
