Abstrakt

The longitudinal rail vehicle dynamics dealing with the movement disruption along the railway track are part of the overall vehicle dymamics. Most of the longitudinal dynamics considerations relate to more than one vehicle up to the whole train. The aim of the article is a short overview of the longitudinal rail vehicles dynamic issues and then more exactly of the train braking. Inextricably linked is the consideration of the inter car push-pull devices necessary to reduce the longitudinal forces during the shunting operations of the freight wagons.

Keywords:
