The paper demonstrates the application of an equivalent axle guidance stiffness in the design of self-steering bogies, as well as the potential of the modular wheelset guidance with optional application of wheelset coupling, in order to optimise the trade-off between curving and stability of locomotive bogies. The sensitivity analysis illustrates the influence of the operating conditions on the self-steering ability.
