This paper studies the key issue of fault tolerance for actively controlled railway wheelsets. It assesses failure modes in such systems, with a focus on actuator failures, and consequence of those hardware failures. It seeks to establish the necessary basis for control reconfiguration to ensure system stability and performance in the event of a faulty, without the need for hardware redundancies. A number of control schemes (with and without faults) are included in the study. Both analytical and simulation results are presented.
