Abstract

This paper analyses axle load transfer calculation theory,and creates a good visual interface to achineve the calculation of available common equations which are used for calculating axle load transfer and best traction height of various types of locomotive in arbitrary drawing.With this interface,the influence on axle load transfer of factors,such as primary and secondary suspension method,stiffness,traction height,wheelbase,the arrangement of traction motor maximum traction force,coupler height,the number of axles can be researched quickly and easily.
