ABSTRACT:
On truck frames having three wheelsets, the invention teaches that the middle wheelset is in contact on each side with the vehicle frame by means of actuators in the lateral direction. These actuators are used to adjust the middle wheelset when the train travels through curves toward the outside of the curve, as a function of the angle of rotation of the truck frame, which is determined by means of measurement elements.
