How to Improve the Running behaviour of Freight Wagons with UIC-Link Suspension

Simulation models of two-axle and bogie freight wagons with link suspension are described. The influence of some wheel-rail contact and suspension parameters on the hunting behaviour of these wagons is discussed. A theory that explains the observed running behaviour is proposed. Finally, suggestions for improvements of the running behaviour with different types of damping are made. For the covering abstract see ITRD E117109.
