Abstract

Railway vehicle is just another type of transportation system among many other such as automobile, aircraft, etc. When it comes to the vehicle, of course it will implicate motion. Something that produce a motion will create what we called dynamic behavior. It is often for the people to get to know about automobile dynamic because automobile was familiar with our daily life. We always use this type of transportation system, hence get the feel about its dynamic condition although not many people will concern about it.. Railway vehicle is actually just the same with automobile which has dynamic behavior like vertical, lateral, rolling and pitching motion. It uses the suspension system that same with the automobile in the term of technology, but just the design and placement of component are different because obviously these two types of vehicles have different shape and handling systems. Railway vehicle is one of the most efficient transportation systems nowadays. Aside from having the lowest accident rate, it was really a good choice for a people that want a fast and comfortable ride. To provide comfortable in a high-speed railway vehicle, a good study on the railway vehicle dynamic performance is a need in order to develop the better system. Inside this text, the dynamic performance of the railway vehicle will be studied. The study has a scope to examine and analyze the passive system of railway vehicle. It is included deriving a mathematical model for the railway vehicle and using the simulation to get the result hence predicting the performance of the railway vehicle. From the analysis, suitable controller will be fitted into the system to improve the existing passive system. It is whether a semi-active, active or fully active control system depending on their pros and cons. All of this action was necessity in order to create a nice and comfort ride for the railway vehicle passenger.
