The mathematical modeling in relation to the Six-degree freedom system of train suspension is developed and simulated for their dynamic characteristics. The important challenge in the suspension system is vertical displacement obtained from the vehicle body. To reduce vertical displacement, an analysis of the model is done by variation of parameters such as stiffness of spring and damping coefficient. The model has been created by deriving the equations of a system using Newton’s law. The developed model has the potential to analyse the dynamic characteristics of the suspension system for both displacement of the vehicle body and displacement of the wheel. The outcome of this research revealed that Secondary spring stiffness is the most dominant factor to influence the displacement of the vehicle body; Primary damping coefficient is the most dominant factor to influence displacement of the wheel.
