A rail vehicle tilting system, comprising a controller (101), a high-pressure air cylinder (102), a left side air spring (105), a right side air spring (107), a left side additional air chamber (106), a right side additional air chamber (108), a first three-position electromagnetic proportional flow valve (109), a second three-position electromagnetic proportional flow valve (110), a sensor, a differential pressure valve (104) and a two-position switch valve (111). The left side air spring (105) is in communication with the left side additional air chamber (106); the right side air spring (107) is in communication with the right side additional air chamber (108); the sensor is used for collecting data of a rail vehicle during running, and transmitting the collected data to the controller (101); the controller (101) controls, according to data collected by the sensor, the first three-position electromagnetic proportional flow valve (109) and the second three-position electromagnetic proportional flow valve (110); the differential pressure valve (104) is used for enabling the left side additional air chamber (106) to be in communication with the right side additional air chamber (108); and the two-position switch valve (111) is respectively in communication with the left side additional air chamber (106) and the right side additional air chamber (108) by means of pipelines. Also disclosed are a rail vehicle tilting control method and a rail vehicle.

A system and method for guidance control on a wheeled bogie is disclosed herein. An electromagnetic engine may be coupled to the wheeled bogie such that the electromagnetic engine may generate magnetically attractive forces between the electromagnetic engine and the rail. The generated force may be used to increase traction for braking and climbing operations. Further, the generated force may be used to counteract hunting oscillation. Still further, the generated force may be used to counteract lift generated by the wheeled bogie operating in a turn with cant.

An independent cart system with reduced particulate generation includes a mover configured to travel along a track. The mover includes wheels mounted to the mover, multiple sealing elements, and multiple dampening elements. Each wheel is operative to engage the track as the mover travels along the track, and each wheel includes a rolling bearing. At least one of the sealing elements is mounted adjacent to each rolling bearing for the wheels to prevent particulate generated by the rolling bearing from leaving the mover. The dampening elements reduce vibration on the mover as the mover travels along the track. A platform is mounted to an upper surface of a drive block for each mover by a fastener. At least one rolling bearing is mounted between the fastener and either the platform or the drive block.
