Railhunt - An interactive tool for hunting stability analysis of a railway carbody

Abstract

In this study, a simulation tool -Railhunt was developed using App Designer toolbox of MATLAB software to study the hunting stability of a railway vehicle. The fundamental architecture of the GUI is presented. Features to facilitate user friendly experience of the tool are described. Benefits of having a specialized simulation tool would allow the researchers and engineers to perform design studies on railway vehicles efficiently with automated formulation of dynamic equations at the backend.
