Abstract :
The mechatronic design methodology allows to efficiently design highly complex technical systems. The modular railway system presented here is driven by a linear drive, with an active suspension/tilt system being employed to enhance ride comfort. The two modules, along with their mechanics, sensors, actuators and digital signal processing, make up intelligent mechatronic function modules. They are part of an autonomous mechatronic system, the railway vehicle
