And the latest technology in Rail Car rolling stock is the Variable Diameter Wheel also known as a VDW Wheel. GPS equipment senses upcoming turns and thru onboard computers send signals to the VDW Integration Unit known as a VDWIU. The VDWIU then send a proportional signal to the VDW's and the diameter either expands or shrinks.
