This paper examines the influence of the rebound longitudinal motion of the bogie upon the vibration behaviour in the bogie. The analysis is based on the results of the numerical simulations developed on the basis of a general model with a nine-degree freedom of the bogie-track system, which takes into account the rigid vibration modes of the bogie – bounce, pitch and rebound, vertical and longitudinal displacements of the wheels, vertical displacements of the rails, and the wheel-rail contact elasticity, and a simplified model that does not consider the bogie longitudinal vibrations of rebound. The bogie vibration behaviour is assessed based on the power spectral density of the vertical acceleration and root mean square of vertical acceleration. It is highlighted the increase of the vibration level of the bogie due to the coupling effect between the pitch and rebound longitudinal vibrations, which, however, does not exceed 3-4% in terms of acceleration.
