Research of Innovations of Diesel Locomotives and Bogies

During manufacturing of diesel locomotives, their basic parameters must be adapted to the requirements of that specific environment. One of the central issues is the choice of bogies. The article present the examples of selecting a bogie by using multi criteria optimization methods. The methods are adapted for Siemens bogies models SF1, SF2, SF3 and SF6. The solutions obtained by different methods were compared, and shortcomings of certain multi-criteria optimization methods for selection of a bogie model according to its parameters were established.
