Abstract
This book is the result of the research activities carried out by the Railway Technology Lab of the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Politecnico di Torino. The book describes the following research topics: (1) development of an algorithm of the contact model which can be used for real-time simulation; (2) simulation and co-simulation of the multibody models of the test rig with the proposed contact model and control system; and (3) real-time simulation suitable for the test rig. In addition, this book includes descriptions of new simulation technologies for the undertaking of tasks covered by the following research topics: (1) development of the Hardware-in-the Loop Simulation (HILS) model of the physical system (test rig), which may be applied for the verification of traction and braking algorithms; (2) the architecture of the HILS model should allow the easy modification of individual elements in order to support further improvements of the physical system.
