This publication is devoted to the evaluation of the movement parameters of the concept suspended monorail vehicle which was conducted on a basis of its traction characteristic and dynamic capabilities. Firstly, the construction of the proposed vehicle was briefly described along with the specification of the most important design assumptions. Subsequently, the focus was put on the methodology and the very plotting of the vehicle’s traction characteristic, as well as the process of its acceleration as a function of speed. Finally, the braking system was assessed by determining the average braking deceleration depending on its type. This article is based on authors’ master thesis: „The concept of suspended railway engine wagon”, conducted on Mechanical Engineering Faculty of Gdansk University of Technology.
