This comparative analysis was an examination of the vehicle-track interactive dynamics where several types of trains are required to operate over the same route at different speeds. Two areas of concern were examined: the effects of track geometry (surface, crosslevel and alignment) on vehicle response and track loads, and the effects of lateral force components acting on curves. A linear, 14-degree-of-freedom computer model was used to simulate a number of rail vehicles on a conventional track structure of rails, ties and ballast, including the Metroliner, passenger and freight cars, TurboTrain, and several locomotives.
