Rail pressure adjustment assembly and system for rail vehicles

A rail vehicle including a rail pressure control system, the rail vehicle comprising:

• a wheel assembly including wheels configured to traverse rails of a railroad track;
• a controller having a processor in communication with said wheel assembly;
• and
• a non-transitory computer readable medium, disposed on the rail vehicle, and containing instructions, which when executed by the processor, cause performance of the following steps in real-time as the rail vehicle traverses the rails:
• determine a rail pressure of said wheels on said rails;
• determine a degree of curvature of said rails as the rail vehicle moves along said railroad track;
• determine a minimum rail pressure of said wheels on said rails based on said degree of curvature;
• determine if the rail pressure is equal to or greater than said minimum rail pressure;
• and
• adjust the rail pressure of said wheels on said rails to be said minimum rail pressure when said rail pressure is less than said minimum rail pressure to maintain stability of the rail vehicle on said railroad track.
