Current projects
- Project Start:2017
- Project main objective(s):
- To research on technical status and the development trend of German rail transit vehicles focussing on life-cycle maintenance technique and train residual life evaluation techniques.
- Project Start:2017
- Project main objective(s):
- To develop of dynamics models for simulation and stability analysis between a single levitation magnet and the track, and a single levitation bogie and the track, in order to evaluate the ride comfort of the vertical motion.
- To propose a strategy for the levitation control systems
- To define and calculate of an Elastic Multi-Body Model to gain a better understanding of the dynamic behaviour, especially with respect to very low-speed and very high-speed movement.
- To determinate, validate and calibrate the optimal suspension parameters through the development of a scenario-based bench test.
- Project Start:2018
- Project main objective(s):
- To prepare documentation of the urban public transport fleet- which include trams, Light Rail Transit vehicles (LRT) and undergrounds - of the public transport companies in Germany.
- To conduct a compilation of the documentation and requirements for manufacturers in tendering procedures based on previous bidding processes.
- To carry out a Life-cycle Cost analysis for a specific type of vehicle.
