This article is concerned with improving the ride comfort of straddle-type monorail vehicles with single-axle bogies by using electro-hydraulic actuator active suspension, which is a new research field. Based on the 15-DOF dynamic model of straddle-type monorail vehicle with single-axle bogie, the model of electro-hydraulic actuator is established, and the adaptive neural fuzzy inference system proportional–integral–differential (adaptive fuzzy inference system proportional–integral–differential) is designed. The simulink results show that the adaptive fuzzy inference system proportional–integral–differential control active suspension can effectively reduce the root mean square value and peak value of the lateral acceleration, vertical acceleration, roll angle acceleration, pitch angle acceleration, and yaw angle acceleration of monorail vehicles compared with the passive suspension. The active suspension of electro-hydraulic actuator can effectively improve ride comfort of the straddle monorail with single-axle bogie. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The dynamic parameters of Straddle-type monorail vehicles with single-axle bogies are optimised by utilising the multi-body dynamic method. The dynamic parameter optimisation is conducted aiming at the curve negotiation properties, comfort and tire eccentric wear of monorail vehicles. The optimisation model is established with software ADAMS and modeFRONTIER and the Sobol is adopted for sensitivity analysis to acquire the optimised parameters. Finally, the multiobjective collaborative optimisation algorithm is utilised for optimised analysis. According to the results, the proposed method can conduct multi-objective optimisation to the monorail vehicles in a successful way. The curve negotiation properties and comfort are improved, and the tire wear is reduced with dynamic parameters after optimisation. Especially, a conversion strategy of the consistent objective function is proposed aiming at multiobjective nonlinear convergence. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In view of the fact that exhibits monorail transportation in recent years, the good situation and the lack of straddle-type monorail vehicle vertical dynamics research, the key problems of vertical vibration were studied in this paper: The vertical coupling is between walking tires and finger-band. A dynamic model based on the vertical equivalent stiffness of tire is proposed, the force mode of the tire is determined through the comparison calculation and the dynamics model between walking tires and finger band was established on ADAMS Dynamics Software. By dynamic calculation, the vibration of four running wheels in time and frequency domains is obtained, and the vibration of the front axle of the front bogie is studied in detail; the correctness of the model is confirmed by comparing with the real vehicle test. Finally, the limitations of this paper and the direction of follow-up work are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
