Summary

This book contains the results of the Manchester Benchmarking exercise for railway vehicle dynamics simulation packages. Five of the main computer packages -- Adamsrail/Medyna, Gensys, Nucars, Simpack, Vampire -- currently used for this purpose have taken part in the exercise. The results are presented in the form of tables and plots comparing how each package predicts the vehicle behaviour. These results are discussed and the differences analysed. Comments made by simulators themselves are set out in a separate section.In addition to the simulation results, each simulator has supplied a statement of methods. This statement sets out the way in which each package was used to carry out the simulations and details the approximations made. In addition, six further papers give examples of the way railway vehicle dynamic behaviour is simulated in a variety of applications using different packages.
