| Abstract: | The lateral motion of vehicles on tracks and roads is characterized by the rolling contact between wheels and guideway. Railway vehicles feature passive lateral guidance while road vehicles are operated by steering. Lateral dynamics is an extremely complex problem but the fundamental behaviour can already understood by strongly simplified mechanical models. In this paper the historical development of modelling approaches for lateral dynamics is reviewed what is very helpful for benchmarking and checking more complex problems, too.
