Modelling and reducing wear resulting from wheel-rail interaction constitute fundamental aspects in the railway field, primarily associated with ensuring running stability and safety while reducing maintenance interventions and costs. The main focus of this study is to conduct a comprehensive investigation into the development of a stable wheel profile that effectively reduces wear and essentially maintains its initial shape throughout the operation of the vehicle. The primary objective is to enhance the vehicle’s dynamic performance, improve ride comfort for passengers, and ultimately reduce maintenance costs. In addition to these goals, the study also aims at examining the wear depth associated with the proposed wheel profile and analyse its impact on the vehicle’s dynamic behaviour.
