Mechatronic Train for Next Generation

This paper presents a brief overview of the concepts, achievements and challenges relating to the use of electronic and computer control for railway vehicles in the aspect of mechatronic design. It can provides the rail vehicles of tomorrow must be more cost effective, energy efficient, and dynamic performance. The main emphasis in this paper will be upon the use of active control for suspension and steering for new approaches of incorporation of sensors, controllers, and actuators. They can make vehicle designers to take advantages optimizing mechanics and electronics jointly which are not possible with a purely mechanical approach.
