ENGR 5533G - Design of Railway Rolling Stock

This course covers the main elements of railway rolling stock. The primary objective of all rail systems is to optimise train and passenger traffic. Rolling stock must therefore be developed in the best possible way to meet this objective. This course provides future players in the rail sector with a global vision of what is important to consider for train development. Topics include dimensioning, traction systems, braking systems, bogies, and computing and control systems. Specific topics related to passenger trains include comfort and door design.
