Abstract
Abstract This paper presents a study of controls for actively steered wheelsets on railway vehicles. The paper explores the potential benefits from this form of active control and studies what could be achieved when modern control techniques are used on the vehicles via mechatronic components. Simulation models are developed for vehicles with both solid axle and independently rotating wheelsets where a mechanically simplified configuration is used, leading to reduced weight and cost. Optimal controllers are developed and applied to the vehicles with the different wheelsets. Parameter uncertainty and robustness of controllers are also investigated in the paper.
