Overview of Articulated Bogie Light Rail Vehicle Investigation Research

Abstract

［Objective］ To comprehensively grasp market demands and develop a competitive LRV (light rail vehicle) product, investigation research on articulated bogie LRV is conducted. ［Method］ The basic characteristics of light rail vehicles are described, including the overall structure of the vehicle, its bogies, carbody, and cabin. The development history, main technical features, and application scenarios of six typical articulated bogie LRV are analyzed. ［Result & Conclusion］ Through in-depth insights into the development trajectory, application scenarios, and the collection of key technical parameters of the six vehicle types, a solid foundation for market demand and feasibility guidance for development projects are provided for product design, facilitating rapid decision-making on vehicle technical parameters. Based on these research findings, design directions for developing more market-competitive LRV are proposed, including enhancing passenger convenience and vehicle performance.
