Development and test of suspended monorail train

Based on the two test tracks which CRRC Ziyang Locomotive Co., Ltd. participated in the construction, this paper introduces the design principles, grounds for parameter selection, general implementation plan, and implementation of key subsystems including bogie, electrical control system, braking system, and rescue equipment during the development of the suspended monorail train. In addition, the paper analyzes the test data of key performance such as the smoothness, posture and noise of a running train. The paper also describes the problems occurred during the test and state of train in detail, with the analysis of problem cause and introduction to the process of identifying the optimal structure and parameters of related equipment after step-by-step improvement and optimization. Relevant experience can provide reference for the design and development of similar products in the future.
