eng	Contribution of active elements in locomotive running gear to reduction of guiding forces	This paper is focused on a potential contribution of active elements in a locomotive running gear to reduction of guiding forces during the run of a four-axle locomotive through curves. Two different applications are discussed – a system of active elements for bogie steering and a system of active elements for radial wheelset steering. The effectivity of both systems is assessed with using of results of multi-body simulations, performed by means of the simulation tool “SJKV”. The attention is paid especially to the influence of parameters of the active systems (maximum force and stroke of individual elements) as well as to their limitations.	system of active elements; bogie steering; radial wheelset steering; locomotive running gear; guiding forces; multi-body simulations
