Additional devices are inseparable part of lorries, buses as well as railway vehicles, such as locomotives with independent traction. These additional devices serve for drive of compressors or other similar devices. The mathematical model is derived by means of the Lagrange’s quations of the second kind method. After finding the energies, the method of the reduction of mass and force quantities to the chosen part. In this case, it is reduced to the drive shaft of the considered mechanism. The presented mechanism is described by means of one equation of motion. This equation can be solved by means of the Matlab software. The last part of the article additional includes illustrations of the solved mechanism created in the Simpack multibody software, which can be analysed and the results can be compared with the results obtained from the Matlab software.skhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/mathematical modelMatlab softwareSimpack softwareequation of motiondrive mechanismtransport meanArticlehttps://doi.org/10.26552/tech.C.2023.5.10
