`Abstract
`
`Modified railway passenger truck designs are considered to improve the compatibility
`between dynamic stability and the ability of the vehicle to steer around curves. A
`comparative study on the non-linear steady state curving behaviour of some
`unconventional truck designs is carried out. The study reveals that modified truck
`designs with primary yaw dampers improve the performance. A particular design of
`railway truck in which the rear axle is an independently rotating wheelset and in which
`the primary suspension in the leading axle is different from the trailing axle—known as
`the unsymmetric wheelset and suspension truck—has the potential to achieve overall
`superior performance compared to other truck models considered in this paper, for
`design speeds of around 80 m/s. For the lower design speed of around 60 m/s, a
`conventional truck provided with primary yaw damper achieves adequate performance
`and is recommended for its simpler design features.
