Disclosed is a railway vehicle with a car and a bogie. The bogie includes a chassis and a secondary suspension system. The secondary suspension system includes a jack and a power supply device of the jack fluidly connected to the jack by at least one flow limiter. The jack is configured to go from a first so-called passive configuration, in which the supply device is inactive, the jack then being able to passively damp the oscillations between the car and the chassis using the flow limiter, to a second so-called active configuration in which the supply device is configured to supply the jack in order to modify the distance between the car and the chassis or in order to keep the distance constant between the car and the chassis.

An apparatus includes a suspension system, a bogie frame with the same, and a rail vehicle. The suspension system includes a vehicle body connecting seat, an elastic component, a transverse damper and a vertical damper. The vehicle body connecting seat is positioned above the elastic component and is connected to the elastic component, and the transverse damper and the vertical damper are respectively hinged to the vehicle body connecting seat and are perpendicular to each other.

Disclosed is a bolster of a bogie, wherein a secondary suspension connected with a transverse beam of the bogie is arranged below the bolster, and a third suspension connected with a vehicle body is arranged above the bolster. The bolster of the bogie of the present invention realize a functional separation by adding a suspension between the bottome of the bolster and the transverse beam to make the frame and the vehicle body be connected through a two-stage suspension, so that the third suspension above the bolster is only used to undertake a transverse displacement function, and the secondary suspension under the bolster is only used to undertake a rotation function, thereby further increasing displacement and relative rotation angle between the vehicle body and the bogie when the vehicle passes through a curve, and improving curve passing capability of the vehicle.

A method for controlling a position of a floor of a carriage of a railway vehicle moving on rails, relative to a platform. The carriage includes a body including the floor, at least one bogie, and at least one suspension interposed between the body and the bogie. The method includes determining a level difference between the actual position of the carriage relative to the platform and an expected position of the carriage relative to the platform, adjusting a height of the suspension for compensating the determined level difference. Determining the level difference includes capturing an image of at least one predetermined pattern comprised on the platform with a camera borne by the body, comparing the captured image with a memorized reference image of the at least one pattern of the platform, and calculating a vertical displacement from the images to determine the level difference.

A railcar bogie includes: a cross beam extending in a car width direction; a first traction motor supported by a first car longitudinal direction portion of the cross beam; a second traction motor supported by a second car longitudinal direction portion of the cross beam; and a coupling member arranged under the cross beam and between the first traction motor and the second traction motor and coupling the first traction motor and the second traction motor to each other.
