Statistical Characterization of Vehicle and Track Interaction Using Rail Vehicle Response and Track Geometry Measurements

This study evaluates the dynamic interaction between rail vehicles and the track on which they travel. The measurements were analyzed in the time and frequency domain. The effects of external parameters such as the vehicle design, subgrade stiffness, and degree of curvature were analyzed and compa...
