Abstract
In this paper, the result of visualization of the contact position between the wheel and the rail when the experimental bogie passes the curve is shown. The change in contact position during the transition process from straight section to curved section and from curved section to straight section became clear. Based on this result, a friction design aimed at reducing the curve passing resistance and noise of the bogie was carried out, and the effect was verified.
