For trains formed from articulated cars, there are the following basic operational features: an increase in the tonnage per meter while maintaining the standard length of the train, an increase in the train-handling capacity of the railway network and a reduction in the required fleet and in the amount of idle time during the repair. The article describes design features of the articulated cars, running performance numerical simulation models, and provides the results of computer simulation, running dynamic tests and track response tests, which confirm efficiency and safe operation of this type of rolling stock.
