eng	Yaw dampers in construction of rail vehicles	With the growth of the maximum operating speed on railways special types of dampers for damping rotational movement between bogie and car body have been developed (yaw damper). These dampers are designed to prevent the development of unstable vehicle motion in a straight track and preserve the running safety and low lateral force effects between the vehicle and the track. Aim of work is to develop a methodology of laboratory tests in order to obtain data for the definition of the complex characteristic of the yaw damper and subsequent implementation of a suitable model into computational simulation of a rail vehicle run.	yaw damper; railway vehicle; vehicle running stability; laboratory tests; complex characteristics
