Abstract—This paper presents a 37-degree of freedom coupled vertical-lateral model of Indian Railway vehicle formulated using Largrangian dynamics for the purpose of examining its dynamic behavior. The rail-vehicle for the present study is modeled as nine mass systems consisting of a carbody, two bolsters, two bogie frames and four wheel axle sets. The 37 coupled vertical-lateral motion equations are further utilized to investigate the ride behavior of Indian Railway General Sleeper and Rajdhani coach Index Terms—Lagrangian Dynamics, Degree of freedom, Track Roughness, Frequency response function
