MBS-calculation safety against derailment of an electric track vehicle

Customer: ROBEL Bahnbaumaschinen, Germany Project tasks MBS-calculations to evaluate safety against derailment in track twists based on the EN14363:2019 Investigation with cranes in transfer mode and in two different working positions Determining of existing reserves of the lifting load Presentation of the results regarding the EN14033-2:2017 appendix H to the technical supervisory authority (TAB) Our […]

This is how we do MBS-calculation

The company ROBEL develops an electric rail vehicle (RORUNNER Level 3) with bogies and two loading cranes for Stadtwerke München GmbH. PROSE investigates the derailment safety of the rail vehicle in track twists using multibody simulations (MBS) in order to evaluate the current design in combination with the track-side conditions. PROSE created a MBS model […]

Running dynamics: reducing lifecycle costs while improving safety and comfort

Did you know that optimising wheel-rail interaction can significantly reduce lifecycle costs while improving safety and comfort? Poor running dynamics do the opposite: higher wear, rising costs, and reduced passenger experience. At PROSE, we help operators detect and correct issues early through advanced simulations and expert assessments. The result: stable, safe, and efficient operations across […]

Operating load measurement and assessment of fracture mechanics

Customer: RAlpin AG, Switzerland Project tasks Operating load measurement Wheelset shaft calculation FE calculation Fracture mechanics assessment Our approach The customer required two fracture mechanics analyses. On the one hand, the aim was to investigate what causes cracks to form on the back of the wheel flange and which factors contribute to crack growth. On […]
