Abstract
In this article we investigate some dynamical features of the Cooperrider bogie. A modern railway passenger car has a car body supported at each end by a carriage or bogie with a relatively short wheel base. The suspension systems are placed in the bogies and between the bogies and the car body. Since the guiding forces from the rails act on the wheelsets in the bogies, the bogies play an important role in the dynamics of the vehicle motion. The mathematical model is presented at the end of this section.
