The report summarizes the work completed during the final phase of three year project. The goal of the project was to develop improved suspension concepts for high speed ground vehicles, in particular in those applications where restricted operating envelopes limit the improvements that can be made by conventional means. The application area chosen for the project was the lateral ride quality of intercity passenger trains. The first year's work concentrated on three areas: ride quality field tests conducted with AMTRAK improved ride quality by linear passive alternatives and potential performance improvements by active suspensions. The second year's work also concentrated on three areas: improved lateral ride quality by nonlinear passive suspensions the design of a pneumatic active suspension system and the design of a laboratory apparatus to evaluate the proposed pneumatic system. The final phase concentrated on analyzing and testing pneumatic system components.
