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 me-chanics, sensors, actuators and digital signal processing,
make up intelligent mechatronic function modules. They are part of an autonomous
mechatronic system, the railway vehicle.
