Does high-speed rail have a steering wheel?
1 Answers
High-speed rail does not have a steering wheel. Here is the relevant introduction: Bogie: Although high-speed rail does not have a steering wheel, there is a device similar to a steering wheel, which is the bogie. The difference is that the bogie is not located in the driver's cab but under the train. The role of the bogie: In China, the speed of high-speed rail can generally be maintained at around 300 kilometers per hour. Due to the long body of the high-speed rail, the turning radius is relatively large. When the high-speed rail enters a curved track, the outer wheel flange comes into contact with the inner side of the outer rail. During the mutual squeezing process, a force is generated. This force enables the bogie to rotate along the curve of the track, thereby allowing the high-speed rail to turn. The bogie can improve the stability and comfort of the vehicle, and its application is becoming increasingly widespread, also being used in trains and buses.
