About the author

Maksym Spiryagin works as a chief investigator at the Centre for Railway Engineering at Central Queensland University (CQU), Australia. His current research interests are rail vehicle dynamics, locomotive traction, mechatronics, and real-time and software-enabled control systems. He received his PhD in the field of railway transport in 2004 at the East Ukrainian National University. His research focused on rail vehicle design and the development of locomotive traction, real-time models, and vehicle mechatronic systems. He has more than 80 scientific publications and is listed as one of the inventors of 20 patents.

Colin Cole is the director of the Centre for Railway Engineering at Central Queensland University (CQU), Australia. He is also the research program leader for the Engineering and Safety Program of the Australian Cooperative Research Centre for Rail Innovation. His PhD was in longitudinal train dynamics. His rail industry experience includes track maintenance, rolling stock and vehicle dynamics, simulation, and the development of on-board devices. His current research interests are train and wagon dynamics, simulation, and train control technologies. He has published 72 papers and one book chapter, and has two patents.

Yan Quan Sun works as a senior research engineer at the Centre for Railway Engineering at Central Queensland University (CQU), Australia.
