Abstract All forces between wheel and rail (Fig. 3.1) act on a contact patch of a size of about 1.5  cm 2 . The weight of the vehicle is translated through normal forces; the guidance through large-radius curves is provided by tangential forces; and during acceleration and braking, additional tangential forces in the circumferential direction of the wheel arise.
