The article presents studies on the effect of change of the wheel flange friction coefficient with the rail on the rail vehicle energy consumption. It describes how to simulate the phenomena analyzed on the basis of the dynamics of rigid bodies connected with elastic elements. The wheel rail contact was simulated using the FASTSIM contact algorithm. The results relating to the drive through track curves of varying radii were presented.
