Abstract In this chapter, we have focused on the link type active steering bogie with an actuator placed in the center of the bogie. The operating principle of actuator is to control the yaw movement of the wheel set according to the location of the vehicle on the track. Active steering vehicle has been co-simulated where the steering vehicle model and control algorithm are modeled in multi-body simulation (MBS) software VI-Rail and MATLAB Simulink environment, respectively. As the railway tracks have different curvatures and cant/superelevations, the estimated steering angle varies from time to time, which affects the dynamics of the vehicle. Hence, the control algorithm is used to control yaw angle of the vehicle. By implementing controlled steering, a significant improvement on ride comfort, derailment speed, creep forces, and creepage have been observed, which helps to reduce the wheel–rail wear and the noise.
