Using mathematical model, conventional railroad wheelset and suspension unit is shown to behave as closed-loop guidance control system; center line of track corresponds to input and lateral position of centroid of wheelset to output; performance of unconventional wheel-set unit in which tangential forces of interaction with rail may be brought under control; forces may be reduced and controlled by interposing coupling having viscous characteristics between wheels, in place of rigid axle.
