DERIVATION OF A SIMPLIFIED MATHEMATICAL MODEL OF A DMU’S POWERTRAIN

Abstract

Recently, railway transport means can be divided to two main groups depending on the source of the energy. Although dependent traction rail vehicles are more and more popular and many European countries endeavour to build new and new track form them, they cannot operate in every corner of the country [1, 2]. There are regions of countries, where the building of track with electrical network is it is not worth it, it is too difficult or there are other reasons not to not to expand the electrical network for electric rail vehicles [3, 4]. Independent traction rail vehicles are nowadays the most known as train units.
