DEVELOPMENT FOR SIMPLE TILTING MECHANISM WITH ROUNDED SECTION CAR-BODY (RSC)

Generally, the tilting train is faster than the non-tilting train about 30% in curve. The tilting train technology and reduction of travel time has been carefully investigated by KRRI (Korea Railroad Research Institute). Based on the primary research result from KRRI, tilting control system and tilting operation interface are considered its core technology to apply tilting train to Korean conventional railway. Passenger comfort is controlled by amount of tilted car body, so the smoothness of interface between tilting bogie and car body during the tilting system operation is considered important. RSC (rounded section car-body) can perform tilting operation with non-tilting bogie and non-tilting pantograph without any serious modification. The high tilting technology to control bogie, pantograph and car body can be eliminated in RSC tilting system. In this paper, design requirements of normal tilting train car-body are introduced. And new technology called RSC tilting system is presented. For the covering abstract see ITRD E123761.
