Driving characteristics analysis of high-speed trains

초록

This paper presents driving characteristics of leading and trailing cabs of high-speed train. Accelerations of cabs in high-speed trains during operation were measured and analysed in this research. At first, the ride comfort for cabs in high-speed trains was assessed by UIC 518R in order to investigate influence on drivers from vehicle vibrations. Then, lateral and vertical accelerations were analysed by R.M.S. values based on operation time. From this research, it was concluded that the ride comfort in trailing cabs was low and vertical vibrations had major influence on the cab vibrations.
