A method for determining changes in the longitudinal-dynamic behavior is disclosed, in particular of an undercarriage, of a railway vehicle for identifying a current driving condition of the railway vehicle, wherein variables, which cannot be measured and which characterize the longitudinal-dynamic behavior, are reconstructed and evaluated via a system model of the railway vehicle by means of a cybernetic observer from a known or metrologically determined input signal and at least one measuring signal of the observed railway vehicle as an observed real reference system. The at least one measuring signal of the observed railway vehicle and a corresponding reconstructed measuring signal of the system model are compared and the deviation determined by comparison is recursively tracked with a regulator so that the determined deviation is minimized.

A vehicle body inclination controller includes an air spring, an air reservoir, valve devices, an acquisition section, and a determination section. The determination section compares, with a predetermined threshold, at least one of a value of a ratio between supply control information of a supply valve and exhaust control information of an exhaust valve in the same valve device among the valve devices, a value of a ratio between pieces of the supply control information of the supply valves of different valve devices among the valve devices, or a value of a ratio between pieces of the exhaust control information of the exhaust valves of different valve devices among the valve devices, and determines that a failure occurs in the same valve device or at least one of the different valve devices when the value of the ratio exceeds the predetermined threshold.

A moving part of a maglev train, comprising two levitation frames that are arranged at an interval along the direction of travel, the two levitation frames being connected by means of a vertical beam; a peripheral wall of the vertical beam provided with a slot that may reduce the torsional rigidity thereof, being capable of reducing the torsional rigidity of the traditional vertical beam so as to reduce the coupling effect between the two levitation frames that are connected by means of the vertical beam, thereby greatly reducing the difficulty and energy consumption of levitation control. The levitation frames and the train body are provided therebetween with a vertical shock absorber and a horizontal absorber having suitable damping values, the levitation frames and the train body are provided therebetween with horizontal stoppers and vertical stoppers which may prevent excessive horizontal movement, rollover and overturning.

A bogie, including a frame (1) and a bolster (2), the frame (1) including two parallel side beams (11), and a cross beam (12) coupled to the middle of the side beams (11), wherein a primary suspension is arranged between an end of the side beam (11) and an axle box (31), a secondary suspension is arranged between the below of the bolster (2) and the cross beam (12), and a tertiary suspension coupled to a vehicle body is arranged above the bolster (2). By including a bolster and an extra suspension on the basis of the conventional two suspensions, the disclosed bogie can achieve separation of the functions, so that the tertiary suspension only handles the transverse displacement, and the secondary suspension only handles the rotation, thereby further increasing the relative displacement and rotation angle between the vehicle body and the bogie when the vehicle negotiates a curve.
