Longitudinal Dynamics in Connected Trains
Abstract The present work aims to describe currents developments for the connected train technique for Russian Railways. Longitudinal dynamics are a major issue for long freight train integrity and safety. Using the developed wireless measurement equipment, detailed data was obtained and a thorough analysis of longitudinal dynamics made. This provides new methods of implementation for the haulage of connected trains for a thousand kilometers of the Transsib and Baikal Amur mainlines.
