Modified railway passenger truck designs are considered to improve the compatibility between dynamic stability and the ability of the vehicle to steer around curves. A comparative study on the non-linear steady-state curving behavior of some unconventional truck designs reveals that a modified truck design in which the primary suspension in the leading axle is different from the trailing axle - known as the unsymmetrical suspension truck - has the potential to achieve overall superior performance compared to other truck models considered in this paper.
