Design and Simulation of Heavy Haul Locomotives and Trains

by Maksym Spiryagin, Valentyn Spiryagin, Yan Quan Sun, et al.

With the increasing demands for safer freight trains operating with higher speed and higher loads, it is necessary to implement methods for controlling longer, heavier trains. This requires a full understanding of the factors that affect their dynamic performance. Simulation techniques allow proposed innovations to be optimised before introducing them into the operational railway environment. Coverage is given to the various types of locomotives...
