Abstract
In this chapter, concept, principle, and method of optimal integrated design for dynamic performances of vehicle and track systems are proposed based upon the vehicle–track coupled dynamics theory and its simulation software. Two case studies are provided for demonstrating the implementation of the proposed method, i.e., optimal design of suspension parameters of a heavy-haul locomotive, HXD2C, for minimizing lateral wheel–rail dynamic interaction on small radius curves, and design of a steep gradient section on Guangzhou–Shenzhen–Hong Kong high-speed railway to ensure vehicle ride comfort and running safety.
