Influence of Bogie Maintenance and Retrofitting on Wheel Wear: Analysis Using Integer Programming and Multibody Simulation

Brazilian railroads are continuously looking to increase their asset performance. In this sense, wheel/rail interface studies have been conducted, which allowed benefits that were not previously considered. Improved wheel/rail contact can significantly reduce maintenance costs, increase energy effic...
