Popis: Bench tests for existing railroad cars are effective for measuring their dynamic performance. However, to date it has not been possible to duplicate the actual running conditions of one car to a multiple car train consist. This paper explains the development of a hardware-in-the-loop simulation (HILS) system composed of an actual car, a distributed real-time simulator, a real-time network, and car end simulators that simulate the dynamic behavior of the end surfaces of adjacent car bodies. This report introduces the HILS system and shows the results of shaking tests on the actual car used to reproduce the running conditions of a 3-car train in the HILS system.
