  text: Numerous single-track railway lines are currently disused due to economic
    factors. These lines could potentially be reactivated by small vehicles that utilise
    only a single rail, enabling bidirectional operation simultaneously. The MONOCAB
    is such a compact monorail vehicle, stabilised by a system of control moment gyroscopes
    (CMGs) and a laterally movable, controllable trim mass. Despite their potential,
    there is currently a lack of comparative references for MONOCABs in relation to
    other vehicles. In the context of mechanical design and construction, interdependencies
    with roll stabilisation occur. Of particular concern are torsional effects, which
    can significantly impact stability. This study investigates the structural dynamics
    of monorail vehicles with a focus on the influence of gyroscopes. Gyroscopic systems
    play a significant role in the behaviour of such vehicles, affecting stability,
    control and response to external disturbances. Through a comprehensive approach
    encompassing analytical modelling, numerical simulations, and experimental validation,
    the interactions between the vehicle's structure and gyroscopic components are
    explored. The analytical considerations are validated via experimentally derived
    frequency responses utilising a full-scale monorail vehicle. The results of this
    study have implications for various fields, such as transportation, robotics and
    aerospace engineering.
