A Novel Energy-Harvesting Active Radial Bogie for Railway Vehicles: Design, Simulation and HIL Test

Article Preview

Abstract:

With the increasing development of railway transportation, the wheel-rail wearing problem is becoming more and more serious while the increasing of both the operating speed and loading weight of railway vehicles. Active radial bogie is one of the hotspots for research in the area of decreasing the wheel-rail wearing issues. Meanwhile, the energy dissipation problem has been restricting its development. This paper puts forward a novel energy-harvesting active radial bogie for rail vehicles. Making use of the hydraulic electromagnetic energy-regenerative shock absorber, the vertical vibration energy could be harvested while train is traveling. Detailed study and evaluation for this active radial bogie will be presented. The tests and simulation results prove the effectiveness of the proposed bogie mechanism and control.
