Pombo, (Editor), "Proceedings of the Second International Conference on Railway Technology: Research, Development and Maintenance", Civil-Comp Press, Stirlingshire, UK, Paper 324, 2014. doi:10.4203/ccp.104.324

Keywords: research and development, railway vehicles, crashworthiness, aerodynamics, strength, fatigue life, computational fluid dynamics.

Summary

A basic survey of two public research projects in the Czech Republic and their participants are presented in this paper. It also provides details of the activity samples, which were shared by the authors of this paper. The research and development was carried out mainly in co-operation with ŠKODA. Passive safety of the new locomotive was resolved according to the requirements of new European regulations. Various simulations of the vehicle aerodynamics, ventilation and air conditioning were performed using computational fluid dynamics software. Progress was also achieved in the field of strength and fatigue life, such as the implementation of multi-axial tests of bogie frames.
