This project aims to enhance the efficiency and safety of high-speed freight trains by optimizing their structural parameters and control strategies. It focuses on reducing energy consumption from motion resistances and minimizing the risk of derailment, ultimately contributing to lower carbon emissions.
For increasing the amount of freight transported by railway, freight trains have become longer and faster in recent years.
The rising speed brings large motion resistances, including wheel-rail contact forces, suspension forces, and wind forces.
On one hand, larger motion resistances consume more energy, producing more carbon emissions.
On the other hand, violent wheel-rail forces and wind forces lead to high risks of derailment and overturning for high-speed freight trains (HSFTs).
