Article Synopsis
- A recent study highlights an abnormal riding comfort problem (ARCP) in low-floor trams, characterized by an unusual W-shaped comfort distribution during dynamic testing.
- The research utilized a multi-body dynamics model to analyze the causes of ARCP, identifying factors such as significant track irregularities and suboptimal wheel-rail contact.
- Proposed solutions to improve riding comfort include adjusting suspension stiffness, modifying structural parameters of the tram, and enhancing inter-vehicle connections.
