Rail vehicle-track modeling and simulations, in past many years is developed a long way from its origins as a research tool. This paper presents an overview of the current features and applications for components of rail vehicle-track dynamic modeling and few challenges which these applications find while doing the simulations. This paper discusses appropriate modeling choices for different applications and analyse the best practice for the optimum performance of suspension components, wheel-rail contact conditions and modeling inputs such as track geometry.
