Summary:Controlling the friction between wheel and rail is direct and very effective measures to improve the curving performances of railway trucks, because the curving performances of truck depend much on friction characteristics. Authors have proposed a method, 'friction control', which utilizes friction modifier (KELTRACK' HPF) with onboard spraying system. With the method, not only friction coefficient, but also friction characteristics are able to be controlled as expected. In this paper, results of fundamental experiments are reported which play an important role to realize the new method.
