Reviewer 2 Report
is "trial-manufactured" means prototype?
Literature need to be introduced on the studies for avoiding the derailment of the track. Is the studied one only method? Please provide other applications or methods for this field, comparing with your approach.
Conclusion needs to be rewritten to reflect the methodology used, their results and their significance comparing the current knowledge. The revision is expected to emphasize the novelty of the study more clearly.
The parameters of kinematic simulation and its limitations need to be introduced. How the static test parameters are transferred and/or contributed to the kinematic tests? Does the test used in literature before? It is important to stress on the applicability of the software based tests with real world.
Field test pattern, measurements and results need to be introduced in more detail. What parameters are recorded or analysed?
Are there only fig 9 in the results? More simulation is mentioned in the text and it would help the text be clear if more results are provided. (i.e. tan 40, 44 ). Also in the analyze section, more parameters are provided which are not discussed in the results.
The text need to be revisited for general language use. There are some points where the language use makes it difficult for reading and understanding.

Reviewer 3 Report
The following points need to be addressed before consideration of this manuscript.
1. There are several instances in the paper in which the authors have used inappropriate English sentence structure. It is highly recommended that the authors should revise the complete manuscript for correction of English language mistakes.
2. In line # 32, change “FN” to “FN”. Move N to the subscript.
3. The contents of the figure 2 and figure 5 are not legible. In order to convert a clear PDF document, whilst retaining its high quality, provide figures and schemes at a sufficiently high resolution (min. 1000 pixels width/height, or a resolution of 300 dpi or higher). There are a lot of lines and names of vectors, so the name of every vector must be clearly visible. The mesh patterns and text is not clearly visible.
4. In equation 11,12,13, use the insert equation and use × sign instead of * to show the multiplication.
5. Use correct symbols within the main text. The symbols should be the same as used within the equation. In line # 205, “v” should be written as “ν”.
6. Use a comma separator in 1000000N after 1000. Also make the same change in Figure 6.
