Multibody model of railway vehicles with weakly coupled vertical and lateral dynamics

In the field of railroad dynamics, multibody models used for on-board state observation, parameter identification and track geometry measurement must ensure a high computational efficiency, particularly when real-time simulations are required. In this paper, a simplified model based on the assumptio...
